Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles have proportional corresponding sides. If triangles ABC and DEF are similar, then

[tex]\dfrac{FE}{CB}=\dfrac{DE}{AB}=\dfrac{FD}{CA}.[/tex]

From the diagram,

[tex]FE=60,\\ \\BC=5,\\ \\AB=12,[/tex]

then

[tex]\dfrac{60}{5}=\dfrac{DE}{12}.[/tex]

This is exactly option D.
