It is B) 96 because a full circle is 360 degrees, DF=264. so 360-264=96

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Given:

Circle with center O.

line DE and line FE are tangents to the circle.

∠DEF = 84°

To find: measure of minor arc that ∠DOF.

Construction: Join DO and FO.

We know that Tangents are perpendicular to the radius at point of contact.

⇒ ∠EDO = ∠EFO = 90°

Now, In Quadrilateral ODEF

∠DEF + ∠EDO + ∠FDO + ∠DOF = 360° ( Angle Sum Property of Quadrilateral )

84° + 90° + 90° + ∠DOF = 360°

∠DOF = 360 - 264

∠DOF = 96°

Therefore, Option B is correct.
