Answer:

∠a and ∠b are the adjacent angles.

Therefore, option D i.e. adjacent is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given the angles

  • ∠a
  • ∠b

We know that the two angles are termed as the adjacent angles when they share the:

  • common vertex
  • common side

From the given diagram, we are given the angles ∠a and ∠b.

It is clear that angles ∠a and ∠b have a common vertex and common side.

Therefore, the relationship between the angles ∠a and ∠b is 'adjacent'.

In other words, ∠a and ∠b are the adjacent angles.

Please note that the given relation can not be a 'linear pair' because the sum of two angles is NOT a straight line or 180°.

Therefore, option D i.e. adjacent is the correct option.
