I crossed out C and D, and I believe the answer is B. Am I correct? @phi @jhonyy9

m<3 why equal m<6 ?

OpenStudy (phi):

they want you to know about parallel lines and a transversal in this problem, "corresponding" angles are equal

OpenStudy (phi):

for example |dw:1475184936937:dw|

OpenStudy (phi):

although in this case, we use "alternate interior" angles are e|dw:1475185058711:dw|qual
