The value of angle O at the center of the intersecting chords is 56⁰ (Option C).

How to calculate the value of m < O?

The value of angle m <0 is calculated by applying the following circle theorem for angle subtended at the circumference of a circle.

This theorem states that the angle at tangent is half of the arc angle of the two intersecting chords.

The value of arc QN is calculated as;

arc QN = 2 x ∠R (circumference angle of intersecting chords)

arc QN = 2 (28⁰)

arc QN = 56⁰

The value of angle O is calculated as follows;

m ∠ O = arc QN (center angle of intersecting chords)

m ∠ O = 56⁰
