m\angle 1=180-45-39=96 \Rightarrow \text{A not true}\\ m\angle 2+m \angle 3=180-m\angle 1=180-96=84 \Rightarrow \text{B true}


m \angle 2 and the above angle with
45^(\circ) are alternate interior angles so
m \angle2 =45 \Rightarrow \text{C true}


m \angle3=180- m\anlge1 - m\angle 2\\ m \angle 3=180-96-45=39 \Rightarrow \text{ D not true}

B)
Because if you find the degrees for angle 1 you get:
180⁰ - 45⁰- 39⁰ = 96⁰ <- angle 1
The triangle in the center has 3 angles, and those 3 angles will equal 180⁰
So, 180⁰ - 96⁰ = 84⁰
