Answer:

C. 71°

Explanation:

In order to find its reference angle, we first need to find its corresponding angle between 0° and 360°. This is easy to do. We just keep subtracting 360 from it until it's below 360. For instance, if our angle is 544°, we would subtract 360° from it to get 184° (544° – 360° = 184°).

In this case, our angle is -289°. 360 - 289 = 71°
