Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

Given information: ST = TU, ∠STV=88°, ∠UTV=92°.

In triangle STV and UTV

ST = TU (Given)

VT = VT (Reflection property)

∠STV=88° and ∠UTV=92° (Given)

If two corresponding sides of two triangles are congruent, then the third side of triangles depends on the including angle of congruent sides.

The larger included angle has larger opposite side.

∠STV < ∠UTV

∠SV < ∠UV

It can be written as

∠VS < ∠VU

Therefore, the correct option is C.
