The triangles QRS is similar to triangle XYZ

From the property of similar triangles, The corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal.

So, angle Q = Angle X

SinQ = SinX

Recall the defination of sine of angle in right angle triangle.


\sin \theta=(Perpendicular)/(Hypotenuse)

For angle X, Perpendicular YZ = 9, hypotenuse XY = 15


\begin{gathered} \sin X=(9)/(15) \\ \sin X=(3)/(5) \end{gathered}

Since, sinX = sinQ

so, sinQ = 3/5

Answer: A) 3/5
