As meter move from left to right. So as respect to this 45 angle will lead to 60 degree angle. A is correct.

Answer B is the correct option because wave b is at 60 and the wave is at 45.

Option A is correct, Consider the Zero Crossing concept, then you will get it.

Get the power factor of both waves.
Wave A = 45 degrees.
Wave B = 60 degrees.

P.F. (Wave A) = cos (45) = 0.707.
P.F (Wave B) = cos (60) = 0.5.

The implication of this is that Wave A is already at the peak, while Wave B is about the get the peak. Thus, Wave A is leading Wave B by 15 degrees.
