Answer:

(C) Similar by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure, SM=27, DL=9, MA=15, LE=5 and ∠M=∠L=31°, we have to identify the similarity postulate that applies.Thus,

From the ΔASM and ΔDLE, we have

[tex]\frac{SM}{DL}=\frac{27}{9}=3=\frac{15}{5}=\frac{MA}{LE}[/tex]

∠M=∠L=31°

Thus, by SAS similarity, ΔASM is similar to ΔDLE.

Hence, option C is correct.
