Answer: A

Explanation:

If they are similar, that means the proportions for corresponding sides will be the same.

I personally ignore the picture and use the labels of "triangle RST and triangle XYZ" that the problem gives because the XYZ picture is not lined up with the similarity it has with RST.

(A) says that side ST is corresponding with side YZ,

[] Triangle RST and triangle XYZ

-> Correct

(A) also says that side RT is corresponding with size XZ,

[] Triangle RST and triangle XYZ

-> Correct

This means that option A is the correct answer.
