It depends on which side is the double of what other side.
If we have that one leg is the double of the other, then the hypotenuse would be square root of three that side and we would have a 30-60-90 triangle.
If, instead, it is the hypotenuse that is the double of a leg, we can't say the smallest angle is 30°.
That's why answer D
