B Correct answer
Explanation

D is the midpoint of chord AB, so OD is perpendicular to AB (property: line from center to midpoint of chord is perpendicular to chord). Similarly, OE is perpendicular to AC. This means ∠BAC = 40° is an inscribed angle subtending arc BC. Central angle ∠BOC = 2 × ∠BAC = 80°. Points F and G are on the circle, and H is on the major arc FG. Using cyclic quadrilateral properties, ∠FHG = (180° - ∠FOG)/2. After calculation: ∠FHG = 180° - ∠F O G/2 = 180° - 40° = 140°, then using chord properties: ∠FHG = 70°.
