Answer: C) An acute angle has a smaller measure than an obtuse angle.

Step-by-step explanation: An obtuse angle is more than 90deg but less than 180deg. An acute angle is an angle smaller than a right angle. The range of an acute angle is between 0 and 90 degrees. So the correct answer is the corresponding to optin C: An acute angle has a smaller measure than an obtuse angle (if we add together an obtuse and an acute angle it will always be more than 90deg).
