Answer: The correct answer is A - Their corresponding angles have a ratio of 2:1.

In the case of similar figures, we have the same basic shape however it is just make larger or smaller. Since this is the case, all of the angles will remain the same.

Imagine different sizes of stop signs. They are all similar and all the angles are the same. Only the lengths of the sides change.
