Check attachment for correct question.

The correct answer is

A. ∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary

step explanation:

line JP is a straight line and sum of angle on a straight line is 180°.

There are three angles on this straight line JP which are ∠JXM, ∠NXP and ∠MXN

Note: from the attachment, it is shown that ∠MXN is a right angle i.e. 90°.

Then, sum of angle on this line is 180°.

∠JXM + ∠NXP + ∠MXN = 180°

∠JXM + ∠NXP + 90° = 180°

∠JXM + ∠NXP = 180° — 90°

∠JXM + ∠NXP = 90°

From the definition of complementary angles : Two Angles are said to Complementary if their sum is 90° (a Right Angle).

They don't have to be next to each other, just so long as the sum is 90 degrees.

Then, since ∠JXM + ∠NXP add up to 90°, it shows that ∠JXM and ∠NXP are complementary

So the correct option is A
