Should be A.

In a paralellogram opposite sides are parallel and equal.
Say ABCD is a parallelogram where AB and CD are the bases and BC and CD the width. Height is determined by drawing a perpendicular line from vertex D to AB. This forms a 30-60-90 triangle. And so one angle can be calculated as a 30 degree angle from this diagram.
It would help you understand better if you could try drawing the picture. I am unable to scan the sheet with the diagrammatic explanation. Hope this helps!
