ANSWER

Option D: The triangles are not similar

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION

Now, two (2) triangles are said to be similar if the three (3) angles of triangle A are congruent or equal to the corresponding three (3) angles of triangle B.

If you take a close look at the two (2) triangles, you will notice that the only angle in ∆BCG that is equal to the corresponding angles in ∆EFG is ∆BGC; the two (2) remaining angles in ∆BCG are not congruent with the two (2) corresponding angles in ∆EFG

Hence, it can be concluded that both triangles are not similar.
