Why are all circles considered similar shapes? Analyze the reasoning and select the best explanation.

• Because they all have the same radius length.
• Because their centers are fixed points.
• Because all circles have equal angles and their side lengths are proportional.
• Because any circle can be resized (scaled) to match another without changing its shape.
