I don’t have the diagram or enough context to determine where E is. Could you upload the figure or give the full problem description (which point E is, or how it’s defined)?
If you intended the common case “triangle ABC is right at B with legs AB = 12 and BC = 16,” then AC = 20. If E were the point A or C that would give CE = 20 or 0 respectively; if E is the foot of the altitude from B onto AC then CE = BC^2/AC = 256/20 = 12.8 (not one of the choices). Please provide the diagram or specify E and I’ll finish the solution.
