Answer:

Option D) No, there is not enough information

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A triangles DEF and triangle LNM


\angle N = \angle E = 90^\circ\\DF = 8\\LM = 4

Similarity of triangle can be proved in the following manner:

  1. AA
  2. SSS
  3. SAS

Since from the given information, it is not possible to prove the similarity of the triangles due to incomplete information, the triangles cannot be proved similar by any postulate.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D) No, there is not enough information
