Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Positive angle
By the standard convention, rotation anticlockwise from the initial arm is taken as positive, so the angle formed is a positive angle. Clockwise rotation represents a negative angle, which is the closest distractor. Exam tip: check the direction of rotation before deciding the sign of an angle.
