b. 125
c. 105
d. 85

Explanation:

Step1: Identify angle relationship

The given 65° angle and $y$ are corresponding angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines $\overleftrightarrow{BD}$ and $\overleftrightarrow{XY}$.

Step2: Apply corresponding angles postulate

Corresponding angles for parallel lines are congruent, so $y = 65$.

Answer:

A. 65
