Answer:

Option D
$BC=63\ in$

Explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem

(DC)/(ML)=(BC)/(KL)

substitute the given values and solve for BC

(56)/(8)=(BC)/(9)

$BC=56(9)/8\\BC=63\ in$
