The answer should be A

Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

                  A. 45°,135°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for a regular polygon with n sides the measure of each of the exterior angle is given by:

                          [tex]\dfrac{360\degree}{n}[/tex]

Also, the measure of each of the interior angles of the regular polygon with n sides is given by:

                [tex]\dfrac{(n-2)\times 180\degree}{n}[/tex]

Here we have n=8 (octagon)

Hence, the measure of each of the exterior angles is:

      [tex]\dfrac{360}{8}=45\degree[/tex]

and measure of each of the interior angles is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{(8-2)\times 180}{8}=\dfrac{1080}{8}=135\degree[/tex]

                   Hence,

          Measure of interior angle= 135°

       and measure of exterior angle= 45°
