The answer is b.
We can do the process of elimination:
We know it's not "a" since all the sides are different.
"B" states that the traingles are similar and "c" states that the traingles are not similar. The angles are the same, which means that the traingles are indeed similar (AA theorem). This eliminates "c", which leaves you with "b".
