Option D is correct. Line e and f are parallel because their same side exterior angles are congruent.

Based on geometry, the line a and b are not parallel. This is so because their same side exterior angles are not supplementary.

  • Supplementary angles sum up to 180
  • From the diagram, 75 + 115 = 190 degrees (showing that they are not supplementary)

Line e and f are parallel because their same side exterior angles are congruent.
