Let us describe each word

Collinear: means some points lie on the same straight line

Congruent: means 2 figures have the same shape and same size

Perpendicular: means two lines intersected at a right angle

Similar: means two shapes have the same shape but different size

Since in the given figure, the two triangles have the same measure of angles but have different sizes sides. (the sides of the small triangle are half the sides of the large triangle)

Then the 2 triangles are similar

The right answer is D
