Answer:

The similarity postulate that applies is;

C. Similar - AA

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

ΔABC with angles ∠BAC = 30°, ∠ABC = 100° and ∠BCA = 50°

ΔDEF with angles ∠EDF = 30°, ∠DEF = 100° and ∠DFE = 50°

Therefore, the interior angles of ΔABC are equal to the corresponding interior angles of ΔDEF, which satisfies the Angle-Angle (AA) condition for similarity of two triangles based on the congruency of two interior angles of one triangle to two interior angles of the other triangle.
