Usually, this one: B. Corresponding Angles Converse Postulate

But, you can build a case for D. Alternate Interior Angles Converse Theorem

directrix · Answer

If I had to choose, I'd go with B because the construction usually shows copying corresponding angles to force the lines to be parallel according to the postulate.

So the right answer would be B?

directrix · Answer

These are poorly written questions so I'm saying that I think whoever wrote the question intended for B as the answer.
