Final answer:

The complement of 37 degrees is 53 degrees. The two angles are not complementary or supplementary and do not form a straight line or congruent angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement of an angle is defined as the difference between 90 degrees and the angle itself. In this case, the complement of 37 degrees would be 90 - 37 = 53 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is A) 53 degrees.

From your drawing, you can see that the two angles are not complementary or supplementary. They do not form a straight line or congruent angles. Therefore, the correct answer is C) No.
