The answer is A.
If x = 90°, then a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If x > 90°, then a^2 + b^2 < c^2
If x < 90°, then a^2 + b^2 > c^2
We know that a^2 + b^2 < 15
& since c = 4 --> c^2 = 16
Hence, a^2 + b^2 < c^2
Therefore, x > 90°
If x = 90°, then a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If x > 90°, then a^2 + b^2 < c^2
If x < 90°, then a^2 + b^2 > c^2
We know that a^2 + b^2 < 15
& since c = 4 --> c^2 = 16
Hence, a^2 + b^2 < c^2
Therefore, x > 90°
