B Correct answer
Explanation

In intersecting chords, angles subtended by the same arc are equal. ∠ADP = ∠ABD = 23° (angles in same segment). ∠APC and ∠BPC are vertically opposite, so ∠BPC = 70°. In triangle BPC, ∠PBC = 180° - 70° - 23° = 87°. ∠BCD = ∠BCP = ∠PBC (both subtended by chord PC) = 47°. This uses cyclic quadrilateral properties and angle sum.
