Answer:

The answer is the option D

$73.7\°$

Explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure

sin(B)=(AC)/(BC)

in this problem

$AC=24\ units$ ------> opposite side angle B

$BC=25\ units$ ------> the hypotenuse of the right triangle

substitute the values

sin(B)=(24)/(25)

$B=arcsin((24)/(25))=73.7\°$
