Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

In the two triangles ΔWVZ and ΔYXZ,

If the sides WV and XY are parallel and the segments WY and VX are the transverse.

∠X ≅ ∠V [Alternate angles]

∠W ≅ ∠Y [Alternate angles]

Therefore, ΔWVZ ~ ΔYXZ [By AA postulate of the similarity]

Option (2) will be the answer.
