Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

It is given that JK is perpendicular to LM, since JK and LM both are lines which lie in the same plane, therefore JK and LM are coplanar.

Since JK is perpendicular to LM, then JK and LM will intersect.

Thus, option A is not correct.

And, as JK is perpendicular to LM, then they will meet each other at a right angle as perpendicular lines make a right angle with each other.

Thus, Option C is correct.
