Answer:

The correct option is C. 62°

Explanation:

Parallel lines are marked in the diagram.

Corresponding angles are the angles which are formed on the same side of the parallel lines provided a transversal is passing through them

Also, A transversal is passing through the two parallel lines forming the corresponding angles

Since, The corresponding angles are always equal.

Now, from the question we can clearly see that 62° and the angle a lies on the same side of the parallel lines

So, The measure of both will be equal

⇒ m∠a = 62°

Therefore, The correct option is C. 62°
