Answer:

(d) None of the choices are correct

Explanation:

Naming the sides in order, shortest to longest, you have ...

ΔNKG ~ ΔAHL

We note that all of the statements use ΔNKG, but none use ΔAHL. So, none of the similarity statements is correct.

Additional comment

The side lengths shown cannot form triangles, because (for example) 4+8 < 20. The sum needs to be greater than 20 for a triangle to be formed.
