Answer:

(d) ∠H ≅ ∠J

Explanation:

We already know that ∠G is congruent to itself. If we show (by translation or other means) that ∠I ≅ ∠K, then we know that ΔGHI ~ ΔGJK. The third angle in each triangle will be congruent, too.

∠H ≅ ∠J

_____

The problem is concerned with angles, so the first two answer choices are irrelevant. If two angles are shown congruent, the triangles are congruent by AA similarity, so the third answer choice is incorrect.
