I suppose option A #(triangleADE ~triangleABC)# is correct.

this is because, it is already given that, #color(magenta)(angleD = angleB#
#color(magenta)(angle A# is shared by both the triangles,

now,
#angle E = 180^@ - angleA - angle D#
#angle C = 180^@ - angleA - angle B#
#=>color(magenta)(angle E =angle C#

Hence, since the corresponding angles are equal, the triangles are similar by, AAA rule
