None of those. What makes you think any of them are correct? (Edit: just wondering where this list came from; not intending to be rude!) Here is how you would say this:

It was standing at a 45-degree angle.

2nd edit: for reference, see definition 1 here and the example sentence: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/angle

The boat is now leaning at a 30 degree angle.

  • This answer might be a little bit snarky, but I must agree that it's strange to see 5 different examples and have none of them be correct!

  • I actually didn't mean to be snarky, so I apologize to @language learner if my response came off that way. I am honestly just wondering how OP came across this list.
