Complementary angles are angles which add to 90 degrees, and supplementary angles are angles which add the 180 degrees.

So A and D are complementary, and B and C are supplementary.

To determine these answers, you can make note of which angles are acute (less than 90 degrees) and which angles are obtuse (more than 90 degrees). Because complementary angles add to 90, they both must be acute. Angles A and D work because 59+31 = 90.

Similarly, supplementary angles add to 180, therefore one of the angles must be obtuse. B is the only obtuse angle.. 119 + 61 = 180.
