For the fourth step shown in the "Reasons"


\angle ANV+\angle ANR=180

Note that both angles lie on the same straight line which is line RV.

Angles on a straight line sum up to 180 degrees.

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} \angle ANV+\angle ANR=180\text{ } \\ \text{Both angles are a linear pair} \end{gathered}

The answer is option B; Definition of a linear pair
