Answer:


ML=9,MN=8


MK=ML+LK


9+-3+x


=9-3+x


MK=6+x


ME=MN+NE


ME=8+x

Now using Secant secant theorem:-


ML*MK=MN*ME


9(6+x)=8(8+x)


54+9x=64+8x

Subtracting 8x and 54 on both sides:-


54+9x-8x-54=64+8x-8x-54


x=10


KL=-3+x


KL=-3+10


KL=7

so, your answer is C) 7

hope it helps....
