Answer:


\text{D) }99^(\circ)

Explanation:

Define a cyclic quadrilateral by a quadrilateral that is circumscribed by a circle. In this case, since the quadrilateral shown is circumscribed by a circle, it is a cyclic quadrilateral.

A property of all cyclic quadrilaterals is that their opposite angles are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees. Since
\angle G and
\angle I are opposite angles in the quadrilateral, they must be supplementary. Therefore, we have the equation:


\angle G+\angle I=180,\\81^(\circ)+\angle I=180,\\\angle I=180-81=\boxed{99^(\circ)}
