Classify complementary and not complementary

Options:
A. "Pairs of angles that sum to 90 degrees are complementary, while those exceeding 90 degrees are not."
B. "Complementary angles are those forming a straight line, while non-complementary angles deviate from it."
C. "Classifying angles as complementary depends on their sum being 180 degrees, otherwise, they're not."
D. "Angles classified as complementary share a common side, distinguishing them from non-complementary angles."

Final answer:

Complementary angles are pairs of angles that add up to 90 degrees and form a right angle when combined.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles are pairs of angles that add up to 90 degrees. They form a right angle when combined.

For example, if one angle measures 30 degrees, the other angle in the pair would measure 60 degrees because 30 + 60 = 90.

On the other hand, angles that exceed 90 degrees do not sum up to 90 degrees and are not complementary.
