Answer:

B. 68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure, Angle HJK is a right angle.

The sum of the angle in a right angle is 90 degrees, thus:


\begin{gathered} \angle\text{HJI}+\angle\text{IJK}=90\degree \\ \angle\text{HJI}+22\degree=90\degree \\ \angle\text{HJI}=90\degree-22\degree \\ \angle\text{HJI}=68\degree \end{gathered}

The measure of angle HJI is 68 degrees.

The correct choice is B.
