<math>AD=1</math>.
 
 
Since <math>\angle ADC</math> is trisected, <math>\angle ADP= \angle PDB= \angle BDC=30^\circ</math>.
 
 
Thus, <math>PD=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}</math>
 
 
<math>DB=2</math>
 
 
<math>BP=\sqrt{3}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}</math>.
 
 
Adding, we get <math>2+\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}</math>
 
 
<math>\boxed{\text{B}}</math>
