Answer:

  b.  18

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of a chord is a diameter of the circle. Conversely, if the diameter is perpendicular to a chord, it also bisects it.

Segment lengths

  BC = BP +PC

  BC = 2×BP . . . . . . . BP = PC

  BP = BC/2 = 36/2 = 18 . . . . . . . divide by 2; substitute given values

The length of segment BP is 18 units.
