Choose an answer

A. A drawing of two parallel horizontal lines, cut by a transversal is shown. The point at which the transversal intersects with the top line has two angles, opposite each other, labeled X below the line and Y above the line.
B. A drawing of two parallel horizontal lines, cut by a transversal is shown. The point at which the transversal intersects with the top line has the obtuse angle above the line labeled as X, and the point at which the transversal intersects the bottom line has the acute angle above the line labeled as Y.
C. A drawing of two parallel horizontal lines, cut by a transversal is shown. The point at which the transversal intersects with the top line has the acute angle above the line labeled as X, and the point at which the transversal intersects the bottom line has the acute angle above the line labeled as Y.
D. A drawing of two parallel horizontal lines, cut by a transversal is shown. The point at which the transversal intersects with the top line has the acute angle above the line labeled as X, and the point at which the transversal intersects the bottom line has the obtuse angle below the line labeled as Y.
