I don’t have the diagram or the side-length expressions, so I can’t pick the correct choice yet. To use HL (Hypotenuse‑Leg) you must have two right triangles and show their hypotenuses are equal and one corresponding leg is equal.

Tell me either
- the diagram (upload an image) or
- the algebraic lengths of the hypotenuses and legs (e.g. SV = 3x+2, TM = 5x−1, SU = 4, UT = 4),

and I’ll solve for x.

If you want to try first: identify the two right triangles, write an equation equating the hypotenuses, write another equating one pair of corresponding legs (if one is numeric you can solve from the hypotenuse equation alone), then solve for x and check which of 2, 3, 4, 5 matches.
