Answer: B

Explanation:

Since they are all on one line, 27 + 90 + A = 180

Using this, we can get the value of A, which is 63 degrees.

Therefore, A is false.

C is equal to A since they are vertical angles.

Therefore, C is also false.

At this point, two statements are already wrong, so D is obviously false.

The correct statement is B, which we can test by subtracting 63 from 180. And sure enough, it's correct.
