Answer: The answer is (A) ∠G.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Julian is describing an angle in the given right-angles triangle GHK such that

GH is the adjacent side.

HK is the opposite side.

GK is the hypotenuse.

Since GH is the adjacent side, so the angle may be∠G or ∠H. But HK is given to be opposite of the angle, so ∠H will not be the answer. Hence, the required angle is ∠G.

Thus, (A) is the correct option.
