Answer:

b. angle K is acute

Explanation:

We're often told not to draw any conclusions from the appearance of a figure in a geometry problem. Here, angle K appears to be somewhat less than 90°, so angle K is acute.

Additional comment

This choice of answer is confirmed by the fact that the other two (visible) choices say the same thing. If one of them is correct, so is the other one. Hence they must both be incorrect. (An obtuse angle is more than 90°.)
