Answer:

D. 148°

Explanation:

Theorem: The measure of the angle formed by a tangent and a chord is equal to one-half the measure of the intercepted arc.

In your diagram, XZ is the chord, WZ is the tangent, and XYZ is the intercepted arc.

Per the theorem,

mXZW = ½ mXYZ = ½ × 296° = 148°

The measure of the tangent chord angle is 148°.
