Answer:

D. FH

Explanation:

Angle G is the smallest, so the side of the triangle opposite that angle will be the shortest. That is the side that does not contain G in its segment name:

FH is the shortest side . . . . choice D

_____

The attachment shows a triangle with these angle measures drawn to scale. You will note that FH is the shortest side.

__

Please be aware that different instances of this question may have different angle measures, or may have answer choices in a different order. The thing to remember is that the lengths of sides have the same ordering (least to greatest) that the angle measures do.
