To identify the correct labels referring to the angles shown in the figure, let's analyze the descriptions given for the angles.

  1. Angle A B D (Answer A) refers to the angle formed at point B between the lines AB and BD.
  2. Angle B C D (Answer B) refers to the angle formed at point B between the lines BC and BD.
  3. Angle C O D (Answer C) refers to the angle formed at point O between the lines CO and DO (which is the radius to point C and the radius to point D).
  4. Angle D (Answer D) refers to the angle at point D.

Without seeing the specific figure, it would depend on the geometric relationships:

  • Since D B is a diameter, angle A B D is an inscribed angle that subtends arc AD, and is half of the angle subtended at the center (angle AOD), making it a relevant angle in the context of the circle.
  • Angle B C D is also an inscribed angle that could be considered based on how points A B C and D form in relation to other points on the circle.
  • Angle C O D could refer to the central angle formed by the radii, which may not directly relate to specific inscribed angles.
  • Angle D is more vague and depends on the context of what it refers to (the angle at point D).

In general, the angles formed by the points D, A, B, and C with respect to the circle and its chords and diameters would commonly highlight inscribed angles.

Thus, based on common conventions:

  • Answer A: angle A B D (because it relates directly to the diameter and involves points on the circumference).
  • Answer B: angle B C D (same reason, it also relates to the circle).

Therefore, the two correct labels that likely refer to specific angles are Answer A and Answer B.
