Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines EG and CD are cut by transversal CF.

By construction, ∠FEG=∠FCD. These two angles are corresponding angles.

Since two corresponding angles are congruent, then lines EG and CD are parallel (by  converse of the corresponding angles postulate).

Converse of the Corresponding Angles Postulate: If the corresponding angles formed by two lines and a transversal are congruent, then lines are parallel.
