B Correct answer
Explanation

Angles subtended by equal chords are equal. Let angle AOB = 80°, BOC = 60°, COD = 70°. Then AOC = AOB + BOC = 140° and BOD = BOC + COD = 130°. Let AC and BD intersect at P. In triangle APB: angle APB = 180° - angle PAB - angle PBA = 180° - 70° - 65° = 45°. The acute angle between AC and BD is angle APB + angle BPC (vertically opposite) = 45° + 30° = 75°. Alternatively, using angle bisector properties at intersection P.
