Correct Answer: $72^{\circ}$


Solution : Total number of employees = 450
Central angle = $\frac{\text{Value}}{\text{Sum of the total values}} \times 360^\circ$
Number of employees in department A = 20% of 450
= $\frac{20 \times 450}{100}$ = 90
The central angle of the employees in department A = ($\frac{90}{450}
) × 360^\circ$ = 72$^\circ$
$\therefore$ The central angle of the employees in department A is 72$^\circ$.
Hence, the correct answer is 72$^\circ$.
