Complementary angles are angles whose measure add up to 90°.

So, if one angle is 4y, the complementary angle is 90°- 4y. Choice A.

Complementary angles does not necessarily need to share a line or vertex. As long as both angles have a sum of 90°, then, they are complementary angles.

Angles who has a sum of 180° are called supplementary angles.
