Answer:

  D  2.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of interest are the hypotenuses of the respective triangles. We are given the angle and the opposite side, so the sine relation is of interest.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(34°) = AC/AB   ⇒   AB = AC/sin(34°)

  sin(53°) = AC/AD   ⇒   AD = AC/sin(53°)

The desired difference in lengths is ...

  AB -AD = AC(1/sin(34°) -1/sin(53°)) = 4(1.78829 -1.25214) ≈ 2.1446

The difference in lengths is about 2.14 units.
