Lets look at them one at a time

A and D have right angles - I'll look at them first

The two short sides for A are in the ratio  2:3

The two short sides for D are in the ratio  6:9  which simplifies to 2:3

SO

A and D are similar

 

Now I will look at  B and C

The shortest side of B to the shortest side of C is 2:3

I can see that the angles are not the same. So they are not similar.
