Answer: Choice B. Angle 3

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles. Note how line t and line r intersect to form an X shape. Angle 1 and angle 3 are opposite angles in this X configuration, which is what makes them vertical angles. Vertical angles are always congruent.

Angle 1 is congruent to angle 2 if and only if both angles were 90 degrees (note the angles are supplementary). Otherwise, they aren't congruent. That allows us to rule out choice A. Choice C is ruled out for the exact same reason.
