Answer: C.
$\text{area of }\triangle ABC=(1)/(2)* BC* AD$

Explanation:

The common formula is used to find the area of a triangle is

$(1)/(2)*\text{base}*\text{altitude}$

In the given picture , we have a triangle ABC , in which Altitude (making right angle with base) of triangle = AD with corresponding base = BC

Thus , the area of the triangle will be :

$\text{area of }\triangle ABC=(1)/(2)* BC* AD$

Therefore , the correct options is

C.
$\text{area of }\triangle ABC=(1)/(2)* BC* AD$
