Answer:

(c) corresponding angles

Explanation:

You want to know the description of the marked angles in the given diagram.

Interior angles

Interior angles are between the "parallel" lines. Angle 5 is interior, but angle 1 is not, so they cannot be described as interior angles.

Exterior angles

Exterior angles are both outside the "parallel" lines. Angle 1 is exterior, but angle 5 is not, so they cannot be described as exterior angles.

Corresponding angles

Corresponding angles are both in the same direction from the point of intersection of the "parallel" lines with the transversal. Here, both angles 1 and 5 are "northwest" of the intersection point, so are corresponding angles.

Alternate angles

Alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal. Consecutive, or same-side, angles are on the same side of the transversal. Angles 1 and 5 are not alternate angles, as they are both on the same side of the transversal.
