Answer:

A

Explanation:

In an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.

An exterior angle of a quadrilateral is supplementary to the adjacent interior angle.

Since the exterior angle is supplementary to both the adjacent interior angle and to the opposite interior angle, the exterior angle and the opposite interior angle are congruent.

Answer: A
