Answer:

(D)
\angle CAB.

Explanation:

The diagram is attached below:

Theorem: An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles.

The exterior angle is the angle formed by the third side and a straight line which forms a supplementary angle with the third interior angle.

In the diagram:


\angle ABF$ and \angle AFB are opposite interior angles.

The third angle is
\angle BAF

The angle which forms a supplementary angle with
\angle BAF is
\angle CAB.

Therefore, the exterior angle of triangle ABF is
\angle CAB.

Triangle A B F is shown. Line B F is extended through point G. Line F A is extended-example-1
