Answer:

B. Similar - AA

Explanation:

Two angles in ∆ABC are congruent to two corresponding angles in ∆DEF. Thus, it follows that the third pair of angles of both triangles would also be congruent.

Therefore, the three sides of ∆ABC and corresponding sides of ∆DEF will be proportional to each other.

This satisfies the AA Similarity Criterion. Therefore, ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF by AA.
