1.
The angle AB ^ C is the angle at the circumference whose center angle AO ^ C is a flat angle which means that AB ^ C is a right angle.
2.
We observe that the segments that join the center O to the vertices of the quadrilateral are congruent with each other.
AO ≡ BO ≡ CO ≡ DO.
If in a quadrilateral the diagonals bisect each other then the quadrilateral is a rectangle.
So ABCD is a rectangle.

There is insufficient information. If AC is a diameter (ie angle AOC is 180) then angle ABC is a right angle - proving it depends on what you are allowed to assume and ultimately the angle in a semicircle is just known to be a right-angle. However, even tho AOC looks like 180 on the diagram, there is no geometric reason that is has to be.
