Final answer:

None of the provided options represent a pair of complementary events on a spinner labeled with numbers 1 through 10. Complementary events must cover all outcomes and be mutually exclusive, which none of these options fulfill.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which option represents a pair of complementary events in the context of Michael spinning a spinner labeled with numbers 1 through 10. Complementary events are two mutually exclusive events that together cover all possible outcomes of a single trial of an experiment. In this case, the spinner can land on only one number in a single spin.
