Answer:
(b) _Congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to know the relationship between corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines.
The Corresponding Angles theorem tells you that corresponding angles at a transversal are congruent if and only if the lines are parallel.
Corresponding angles are congruent.

Additional comment
This fact is the basis for the simplest method of constructing a line parallel to a given line through an external point. (A transversal is drawn, and the angle is copied, making congruent corresponding angles.)
All of the other angle relationships at a transversal can be derived from this one using the usual relationships of linear pairs and vertical angles.
