Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

What are supplementary angles?

  • Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180°. They're usually adjacent angles, but not all the time.

Given the information above, C) is correct because ∠AXD and ∠DXC are right angles. One right angle is worth 90°, so two adjacent right angles must be worth 180°, thus being supplementary.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
