Answer: D) Cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice A isn't the answer because we don't know anything about the angles, so we can't use the AA (angle angle) Similarity theorem.

Choice B isn't the answer because we don't have info about all three pairs of sides (we only have two pairs of sides).

Choice C isn't the answer in a similar way choice A isn't either. We don't know anything about the angles, so we can't use the "A" in "SAS".

Choice D is the only thing left. It turns out we don't have enough info to be able to determine if the triangles are similar or not.
