Answer: VW

Explanation:

By the property of dilation,

If Rectangle HIJK is dilated to form rectangle TUVW,

Then Rectangle HIJK is similar to TUVW,

Thus, by the property of similarity,

The corresponding sides of HIJK and TUVW are proportional to one another.

Since, segment JK is corresponding to segment VW,

⇒ Segment JK is proportional to segment VW.
