Answer: D

Solution:

Let the bisector of $\angle B$ hit $AC$ at $D.$ By the Angle Bisector Theorem, $\frac{AD}{DC} = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{80}{45},$ and since $AC = 75,$ we get $AD = 48$ and $CD = 27.$ Triangles $BCD$ and $ACB$ share $\angle C,$ with adjacent sides in the common ratio $\tfrac{45}{75}=\tfrac{27}{45}=\tfrac35,$ so they are similar by SAS. Hence $BD=\tfrac35\cdot80=48=AD,$ making $\triangle ADB$ isosceles. Put $\angle DAB=\angle DBA=\theta.$ Because the altitude through $C$ is perpendicular to $AB,$ both $\angle DPC$ and $\angle DCP$ equal $90^\circ-\theta.$ Thus $\triangle CDP$ is isosceles, so $PD=CD=27.$ Since $P$ lies on $BD,$ we get $BP=BD-PD$ $=48-27=21.$ Thus, D is the correct answer.
