C. designing the layout of the structure. Geometry is essential in architecture for the design and layout of buildings, including determining measurements, angles, and shapes of structures.

When a line is perpendicular to another line, the two lines form a 90° angle. Since line EF is perpendicular to line AB, it forms two 90° angles where they intersect. Similarly, since line EF is perpendicular to line CD, it forms two more 90° angles where they intersect. In total, there are four 90° angles formed by the intersections of EF and the two parallel lines AB and CD.
