Answer:

∠BDC and ∠AED are right angles

Explanation:

Because ∠C ≅ ∠C, the additional bit of information above can be used to show AA similarity.

____

None of the other offered choices says anything about both triangles. In order to show similarity, you need information about corresponding parts of the two triangles. Information about one triangle alone is not sufficient.
