Well the third and last option are not rational, since all angles are not right angles, and just because they are comp does not mean they are congruent.

we know that

m∠KJM=m∠KLM=
90°

m∠KJC=m∠MLC -----> equation
1

m∠KJM=m∠KJC+m∠CJM=
90° -----> equation
2

m∠KLM=m∠KLC+m∠MLC=
90° -----> equation
3

Substitute equation
1 in equation
3

So

m∠KLM=m∠KLC+[m∠KJC]=
90°

angles ∠KLC and ∠KJC------> are complementary angles

therefore

the answer is

Angles that are congruent are complementary to the same angle
