Answer: Choice A) 60 degrees

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the diagram, angles L and X are the top most angles. They correspond to have angle L = angle X = 60 degrees

Though you shouldn't rely solely on a diagram because the figures may be oriented in a strange way. A better way is to look at the letter sequences of JKLMN and VWXYZ

Notice how L and X are the third letters of JKLMN and VWXYZ respectively. This means the letters pair up and are congruent angles (since the polygons are similar). So this is a non-visual way to see how angle L = angle X = 60.
