General Idea:

The measure of one of the central angles of a regular Polygon (
\theta) can be used using the below formula:


\theta=  (360^(\circ))/(n)    \\\\Where: \\\; n\; is\; number\; of\; sides\; of\; regular\; polygon

Applying the concept:

The measure of one of the central angles of a regular octagon.

The octagon have 8 sides, using the above formula we get...


\theta= (360)/(n) \\\\\theta = (360)/(8) = 45^(\circ)

Conclusion:

The correct option is A) 45 degrees
