A. Quantity A is greater.

C. The two quantities are equal.
D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Since angles in a triangle must add to 180°, the missing angle in the very narrow triangle must be 120°
Since angles on a line must add to 180°, angle b must be 60°
Since angles in a triangle must add to 180°, the missing angle in the big triangle must be 40°
Since angles on a line must add to 180°, angle a must be 140°
So, a = 140° and b = 60°
We get:
Quantity A: 140° + 60° = 200°
Quantity B: 200°
Answer: C
