irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Option D is correct

Option B is not correct as both are supplementary and does not equal each other

Option C is not correct, both are corresponding to each other and should not add up to 90

Option D is correct

Both angles are supplementary as they are exterior angles that add up to 180
