Answer:

C

Explanation:

for AB to be parallel to CD then the slopes of both segments must be equal

using the slope formula to find the slopes , then

A (x₁, y₁ ) and B (x₂, y₂ )


m_(AB) =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

C (x₃, y₃ ) and D (x₄, y₄ )


m_(CD) =
(y_(4)-y_(3) )/(x_(4)-x_(3) )

then


m_(CD) =
m_(AB)


(y_(4)-y_(3) )/(x_(4)-x_(3) ) =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) ) → C
