Answer:

The reason why these triangles are similar is;

A. AA

Step-by-step explanation:

A two column proof can be presented using the drawing of the question diagram created with Microsoft Visio as follows;

Statement      [tex]{}[/tex]                  Reason

[tex]\overline {AB}[/tex] ║ [tex]\overline {DE}[/tex]   [tex]{}[/tex]                      Given

∠ACB ≅ ∠DCE       [tex]{}[/tex]         Vertically opposite angles

∠BAC ≅ ∠DEC       [tex]{}[/tex]         Alternate interior angles theorem

∠ABC ≅ ∠CED       [tex]{}[/tex]         Alternate interior angles theorem

ΔABC ~ ΔCDE        [tex]{}[/tex]         By Angle-Angle (AA) similarity postulate

Therefore, the correct option is AA.
