ANSWER

[tex]44 \degree[/tex]


EXPLANATION

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is
[tex]360 \degree[/tex]


So we sum all the exterior angles to obtain,

[tex] \: < \: DEG +61 + 88 + 52 + 115 = 360 [/tex]


This implies that,

[tex] \: < \: DEG + 316 = 360 [/tex]


We group like terms to obtain,

[tex] \: < \: DEG = 360 - 316[/tex]

This simplifies to,

[tex] \: < \: DEG = 44 \degree[/tex]


Therefore the correct answer is option B.
