Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Answer:

Option A is correct.

Yes, by AA similarity criterion

Step-by-step explanation:

AA(Angle-Angle) Similarity Criterion states that if two angles of one triangle are congruent to two angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

In ΔBAC and ΔCED

[tex]\angle BAC = \angle CED = 17^{\circ}[/tex]   [Angle]        [Given]

[tex]\angle C = \angle C[/tex]     [Angle]          [Common angle]

Therefore, by AA similarity criterion;

[tex]\triangle BAC \sim \triangle CED[/tex]

Therefore,  ΔBAC and ΔCED are similar by AA similarity criterion.
