Answer:

(c) CPCTC

Explanation:

The proof might go something like this:

  1. EH ≅ KH, FH ≅ JH . . . . . given
  2. ∠EHF ≅ ∠KHJ . . . . . vertical angles are congruent
  3. ∆EHF ≅ ∆KHJ . . . . . SAS congruence theorem
  4. EF ≅ KJ . . . . . CPCTC

Note that JK is an alternate name for segment KJ. We used KJ in the proof because vertices K and J correspond directly to vertices E and F in the congruent triangles.
