Is this correct? similarity postulates

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

question attached. my answer: To prove △BAC is similar to △DFE, one of the three postulates must be fulfilled: AA Similarity Postulate: If ∠B ≅ ∠D, and ∠C ≅ ∠E, than the triangles are similar SSS Similarity Postulate: If BA is proportional with DF, AC is propotional with FE, and CB is proportional with ED, than the triangles are similar SAS Similarity Postulate: If BC is proportional with DE, ∠C ≅ ∠E, and CA is proportional with EF, than the triangles are similar

The basic idea looks good, but I would put something like BA/DF=AC/FE=CB/ED instead of saying they are proportional, since their proportions have to be equal. I might be splitting hairs though...
