Answer: Choice C

i/j = h/k

=============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle proportionality theorem basically says that if we draw a parallel line somewhere inside the triangle like this, then we'll split the sides into smaller pieces that are proportional to one another (eg: the longer side is say 3 times longer than the shorter side for each piece of the original triangle).

One statement we can make is j/k = i/h. This then can be rearranged into i/j = h/k after doing a bit of algebra. Other equations are possible, so there are many combos we could try.
