The m∠BAC
is 46 degrees.
The m angle upper B upper A upper C is 46 degrees.

The m∠BAC=m∠DAC
.
The m angle upper B upper A upper C equals m angle upper D upper A upper C .

The m∠BAC
is 23 degrees.
The m angle upper B upper A upper C is 23 degrees.

The m∠BAC
is 92 degrees.

Since ray AC bisects ∠A, it divides the angle into two equal parts.

Given that m∠BAD is 46 degrees, we can say:

m∠BAC = m∠DAC = m∠BAD / 2 = 46 degrees / 2 = 23 degrees.

Therefore, the correct response is:

The m∠BAC is 23 degrees.
