Answer:

Option c: 61° is the correct answer

Explanation:

By the diagram attached with the question, we can conclude that a transversal is interesting two parallel lines which results in formation of 8 angles.

Angle 3 and angle 5 are interior angles on same side of transversal.

When a transversal intersects two parallel lines, the interior angles on same side of transversal are supplementary angles i.e. their sum is 180°

So using this

m∠3+m∠5 = 180°

m∠3 + 119° = 180°

m∠3 = 180°-119°

m∠3 = 61°

Hence,

Option c: 61° is the correct answer
