My answer was based on the assumtion that the statement "A,B,C are on the same level", has no concern withe the Question "which is longer,AC or BC?"
Then AC is used for the period After christ, and BC for Before Christ.
Obviously BC is longer than AC as of today.

But who calls it "AC"?

I don't think that is the answer.

I don't think that is the answer.
Spoiler for
AC isn't a time measurement. AD is the time which stands for Anno Domini which means "The year of our lord" or something like that. If you use Before Christ and After Death then where would the years that Jesus lived fall?

I normally do not google an answer to a puzzle, but after reading the comments I also realized that answer which I posted by applying mere common sense may be wrong and then I searched this subject on google and found there have been long discussions on this subject.
So it seems worthless to me now to make further arguments, but I suggest this puzzle could be reproduced as under:
A,B,C,D are on the same level,which is longer,AD or BC ?
