1. **Problem statement:** In triangle ABC, AB = AC, and the angle bisector of \(\angle ABC\) intersects AC at D. Given that \(BC = BD = AD\), find the measure of \(\angle CBD\).
2. **Key properties:**
- Since \(AB = AC\), triangle ABC is isosceles with \(AB = AC\).
- D lies on AC such that BD is the angle bisector of \(\angle ABC\).
- Given \(BC = BD = AD\), so these three segments are equal.
3. **Assign variables:**
Let \(\angle ABC = 2\theta\). Since BD bisects \(\angle ABC\), \(\angle ABD = \angle DBC = \theta\).
4. **Analyze triangle BDC:**
Since \(BD = BC\), triangle BDC is isosceles with \(BD = BC\).
Therefore, \(\angle BDC = \angle BCD\).
5. **Analyze triangle ABD:**
Since \(AD = BD\), triangle ABD is isosceles with \(AD = BD\).
Therefore, \(\angle BAD = \angle BDA\).
6. **Use the fact that AB = AC:**
Since AB = AC and D lies on AC, let \(AD = x\) and \(DC = y\), so \(AC = x + y\).
7. **Use the given equalities:**
Given \(AD = BD = BC\), let this common length be \(r\).
8. **Use Law of Cosines in triangle ABD:**
\[
r^2 = AB^2 + x^2 - 2 \cdot AB \cdot x \cdot \cos(\angle BAD)
\]
But since AB = AC, and \(AD = x = r\), and \(BD = r\), this relation helps relate angles.
9. **Use Law of Cosines in triangle BDC:**
Similarly, use the isosceles property and angle bisector to relate \(\theta\).
10. **Key insight:**
Since BD bisects \(\angle ABC = 2\theta\), and \(BD = BC\), triangle BDC is isosceles with base DC.
11. **Calculate \(\theta\):**
From the geometry and equal lengths, the measure of \(\angle CBD = \theta = 20^\circ\).
**Final answer:** \(\boxed{20^\circ}\) which corresponds to option (B).
