Answer:

Option C

XY

Explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar

then

the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and their corresponding angles also are equal

so

In this problem


(RS)/(WX)=(ST)/(XY)=(RT)/(WY)

therefore

the corresponding sides are

RS and WX

ST and XY

RT and WY

To determine the part of the triangle that corresponds to the parts of the other triangle, we can just see how they are arranged in the equation,
RST = WXY
The corresponding side of side ST is equal to side XY. Thus, the answer is letter C.
