In this case, since angles A, B, C, and D share the same vertex, we can say that the sum of angles A, B, C, and D is equal to 360°.

Given that angle C is 75°, we can substitute this value into our equation:

A + B + 75° + D = 360°

Since angle B is adjacent to angles A and C, we can write:

A + B + B + D = 360°

Simplifying this equation, we have:

2B + A + D = 360°

Substituting the value of angle C, we have:

2B + A + 75° + D = 360°

Since angle B is adjacent to angles A and C, we can say that angle B is congruent to angle A. Hence, we can write:

2A + A + 75° + D = 360°

Combining like terms, we get:

3A + D + 75° = 360°

Next, we subtract 75° from both sides:

3A + D = 285°

Finally, we notice that angles A, B, C, and D share the same vertex, so their sum must be equal to 360°. Therefore, we can write:

A + B + C + D = 360°

Substituting in the known values, we have:

A + B + 75° + D = 360°

Rearranging the equation, we get:

A + B + D = 360° - 75°

A + B + D = 285°

Comparing this to our previous equation, we can say:

3A + D + 75° = A + B + D

2A + 75° = B

Since B is equal to A, we can write:

2A + 75° = A

Finally, subtracting A from both sides, we get:

A = -75°

However, since angles cannot be negative, this solution is not valid.

Therefore, there is no valid solution for angle A given that angle C is 75°.

The answer is: None of the above.
