Answer:

B) Adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse will ALWAYS be designated as the longest side in a right triangle.

Pretend that the angle (the one with the round line) is an eyeball that is looking outwards. The eye is looking out at side BC. That means that line BC is opposite of the angle.

This leaves one side left: the adjacent side. The adjacent side is the side next to the angle. But it is the side that is NOT the hypotenuse.
