Given that line segment AC is the perpendicular bisector of segment BD, we can deduce the following about point E, where the two segments intersect:

1. Since AC is the perpendicular bisector of BD, point E is the midpoint of segment BD. This means that segments BE and DE are equal in length.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**b. It must be the same length as segment DE.**
