Explanation

The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, so it must be labeled hypotenuse. With respect to angle A, the side directly across from it is opposite, and the other leg that touches angle A is adjacent. Choice C labels the short leg opposite, the long leg adjacent, and the side opposite the right angle hypotenuse.
