Answer: Segment DB (3rd choice)

Step-by-step explanation:

Points B and D are midpoints of segments AC and CE respectively. This is because of the tickmarks indicating congruent segment pieces (AB = BC and CD = DE)

Joining the midpoints together forms a midsegment. The midsegment is half as long as the side parallel to it. This means BD is half as long as AE. Flip things around to say that AE is twice as long as BD.
