Gary is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below:
He starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC.

Which inequality will he use to contradict the assumption?
A. 4:10 ≠ 6:14
B. 4:6 ≠ 6:14
C. 4:10 ≠ 6:8
D. 4:14 ≠ 6:10
