To find the measure of angle J, we need to use the angle sum property of triangles, which states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180°.
In this triangle, we have:
Angle J + Angle H + Angle I = 180°
We know that Angle H = 100° and Angle I = 80° from the diagram.
Substitute these values into the equation:
Angle J + 100° + 80° = 180°
Angle J + 180° = 180°
Angle J = 180° - 180°
Angle J = 0°
Therefore, the measure of angle J in the triangle is 0°, which is not listed as one of the answer choices. It is possible that there was a mistake in the information provided or in the diagram.

A. 97°
B. 83°
C. 35°
D. 7°
