Remember that the angle of an arc substended at the center is twice the angle substended at the circumference.

Using this, we can say that:


2(\angle PON)=\angle PMN

Solving for angle PON,


\begin{gathered} 2(\angle PON)=\angle PMN \\ \rightarrow\angle PON=(\angle PMN)/(2) \\ \rightarrow\angle PON=(134)/(2) \\ \\ \Rightarrow\angle PON=67 \end{gathered}

This way, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

B. 67°
