Answer:

Option D) Angle D is not an exterior angle.

Explanation:

An exterior angle of a triangle is formed between the extended line DF and line DE.

This means Exterior angle of a triangle is supplementary to the interior angle formed on the same line.

So, exterior angle D + ∠ EDF should be equal to 180° [ By definition ]

Therefore, angle D shown in the diagram is not the exterior angle.

Option D is the answer.
