            [A]

Solution.        

BC is the side of \triangleABC, D is the point on side BC.

In \triangleABC,

\angleBAD = \angleCAD         (Given that AD bisects ÐBAC)

In \triangleADC,

\angleBDA > \angleBAD        (\because Exterior angle of triangle is greater than interior opposite angle)

\angleBAD = \angleCAD

Then BA > BD                        (\because Side opposite to greater angle is longer)

Hence option (A) is correct.
