    B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Supplementary angles sum to 180°, hence

    3x + 9 + 2x + 2 = 180, that is

    5x + 11 = 180 (subtract 11 from both sides)

    5x = 169 (divide both sides by 5)

    x = 33.8

    Hence the smaller angle has a measure of

    2x + 2 = (2 * 33.8) + 2 = 67.6 + 2 = 69.6° → B
