I can't understand this question.

Option A is a wrong ansswer.

The correct answer is option B because when wave B is at 60 degree then the wave A is at 45 degree so we can say that wave B is leading wave A by 15 degree (60-45) or wave A lags wave B by 15 degree.

Yes I agree. The answer must be option B.

Because they didn't indicate the peak of the pulse. If they have peak we can clearly say if A lags B or B lags A since it just states sine waves so I assume that the wave have the same wave length and peak. So B is leads wave A by 15 degree.

Wave A leads wave B because wave A is crossing zero first.

A is right answer think about quadrant system and divide angle on them.

What is the correct answer? please explain it.

Option A is the correct option. Because if you plot the graph as angles on x-axis a and respective variable(voltage or current) on y-axis, you will observe that wave A is 15 degrees before that of wave B. Therefore you can say wave A leading wave B by 15 degrees.

I support for the option A because the one which crosses zero cross over will lead the other one.

Answer A is correct answer because when we plot graph, than we observe that wave A lead wave B by 15 degree.

45-60 = -15.

-15 value of wave A, means that's leading the other (B) wave form, such as in capacitor case -90 degree means that current lead the voltage to 90 degree.
