Given data:
The given triangle is shown.
The exterior angle is the sum of interior opposite angles.
[tex]\angle CAE=\angle ACB+\angle CBA[/tex]Substitute the given values in the above expression.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle CAE=52^{\circ}+46^{\circ} \\ =98^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the angle CAE is 98 degrees, so first option is correct.
