The impedance phase angle in an RLC circuit is determined by the relationship between the resistive (R) and reactive (X) components. The phase angle ($\theta$) can be calculated using the formula $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{X}{R}\right)$. Without the specific values of resistance (R), inductive reactance (XL), and capacitive reactance (XC) provided in the question, we cannot apply the formula directly. However, given the options and typical phase angle calculations in RLC circuits, a phase angle of 87.6° suggests a scenario where the reactive component (X) is much larger than the resistive component (R), leading to a circuit that is highly inductive or capacitive. This answer is chosen based on the standard approach to calculating phase angles in electrical circuits and the typical outcomes of such calculations.
