We are told that two triangles ABC and QRS are similar and we must find which side of ABC is corresponding to RS. First of all it's important to note that the order of the vertices in the name of the triangle tells us which vertices of ABC are corresponding to those in QRS. Then we have the following pairs of corresponding vertices:


\begin{gathered} A\leftrightarrow Q \\ B\leftrightarrow R \\ C\leftrightarrow S \end{gathered}

Two sides are corresponding if their vertices are corresponding. Then the corresponding side to RS is BC and the answer is option D.
