Answer: B.
79^(\circ)

Explanation:

In the given picture, we have a circle with the measure of arc RT=
158^(\circ)

Let the center of the given circle be O.

Since, the angle subtended by an arc at the center =measure of arc

Therefore, the angle subtended by an arc RT at the center =
\angle{ROT}=158^(\circ)

Also, the angle which is subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is double the size of the angle subtended at any point on the circumference.

i.e.
\angle{ROT}=2\angle{RST}

Thus, the measure of
\angle{RST}=\frac{\angle{ROT}}{2}=(158^(\circ))/(2)=79^(\circ)

Hence, the measure of
\angle{RST}=79^(\circ)
