Explanation:

Step1: Identify midsegment property

The marks show $D,B$ are midpoints of $AF,AE$; $C$ is midpoint of $FE$. $BD$ is the midsegment of $\triangle AFE$, so $BD=\frac{1}{2}FE$.

Step2: Substitute given value

Substitute $FE=23.5$ into the formula.
$BD=\frac{1}{2} \times 23.5$

Step3: Calculate the result

Perform the multiplication.
$BD=11.75$

Answer:

A. 11.75
