Answer is B. Quantity B is greater,
Consider the triangle LMK, and the angle opposite to LM is the more than angle opposite to KM.
Since there are no side lengths given, the other triangle can be ignored.

We need only focus on triangle KML.
Since 61 degrees is the largest angle in triangle KML, the side opposite the 61-degree angle (side LM) must be the longest side.
Since 59 degrees is the smallest angle in triangle KML, the side opposite the 59-degree angle (side KM) must be the shortest side.
