Which of the following is the correct statement of the Basic Proportionality Theorem (BPT) for a triangle ABCABC? (a) If ADAB=AEAC\dfrac{AD}{AB}=\dfrac{AE}{AC}, then DE∥BCDE\parallel BC. (b) If DE∥BCDE\parallel BC, then ADAB=AEAC\dfrac{AD}{AB}=\dfrac{AE}{AC}. (c) If a line through a point DD on ABAB and a point EE on ACAC is parallel to BCBC, then ADDB=AEEC\dfrac{AD}{DB}=\dfrac{AE}{EC}. (d) If a line joins the mid-points of ABAB and ACAC, it is parallel to BCBC.
