Answer:

C. Angles I and L are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing similar statements, the order of the letters is extremely important, this is because, in similar triangles:

1- corresponding angles are congruent (equal)

2- corresponding sides are proportional

Now, we are given that:

ΔGHI is similar to ΔJKL

This means that:

∠G is congruent to ∠J

∠H is congruent to ∠K

∠I is congruent to ∠L

Comparing the above congruent angles with the choices, we can conclude that the correct choice is option C

Hope this helps :)
