Which statement best describes alternate angles?

They are on opposite sides of a transversal

Alternate angles are the pair of angles formed when a transversal crosses two lines, and they sit on opposite sides of that transversal. That makes the statement about being on opposite sides the best description. Picture two horizontal parallel lines cut by a diagonal line: the angle at one intersection and the angle at the other intersection that lie across from each other relative to the diagonal are the alternate angles. This contrasts with angles that are on the same side of the transversal, or those described as interior on the same side, or angles simply forming a straight line.
