To find the central angle for Rent in a pie chart, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Central angle} = \text{Percentage} \times 360^\circ
\]

In this case, Rent accounts for 28.4% of the budget.

\[
\text{Central angle} = 28.4\% \times 360^\circ = \frac{28.4}{100} \times 360^\circ
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Central angle} = 0.284 \times 360^\circ = 102.24^\circ
\]

Rounding to one decimal place, the central angle measurement is approximately 102.2°.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**102.2°**
