    Option B (44 degrees).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In a parallelogram, there are two pairs of equal and parallel lines. Therefore, by the properties of the parallel lines, the opposite angles are also equal. The sum of angles of a parallelogram is 360 degrees. It is given that one angle is (4x + 16) degrees and the other angle is (2x - 16) degrees. Since opposite angles are same, therefore:

    4x + 16 + 2x - 16 + 4x + 16 + 2x - 16 = 360

    Simplifying gives:

    12x = 360.

    x = 30.

    Since H = (2x-16) degrees, substituting x = 30 degrees in H gives:

    H = 2 (30) - 16 = 60 - 16 = 44 degrees.

    Therefore, Option B is the correct choice!
