Solution

The correct option is C Adjacent angles
From the figure, $x + y = 90^{o} .$
So $x and y$ are complementary angles.

The Sum of supplementary angles is $180^{o}$ .
Hence these angles are not supplementary.

As both angles are less than $90^{o}$ , so both are acute angles.

These are adjacent angles as one of their ray is common.
So, option $(a) (b) and (c)$ are correct.
