### Right Triangle Proportions

#### Problem Statement:
Given right triangle \( \triangle ABC \) with a right angle at \( C \) and \( m∠C = 61^\circ \), right triangle \( \triangle RST \) with a right angle at \( T \) and \( m∠R = 29^\circ \), which proportion in relation to \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle RST \) is not correct?

#### Diagram:
The problem includes a diagram showing two right-angled triangles, \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle RST \), each with their right angles and respective angles labeled.

#### Proportions to Consider:
1. \( \frac{AB}{RS} = \frac{KI}{AC} \)
2. \( \frac{BC}{ST} = \frac{AB}{RS} \)
3. \( \frac{AC}{ST} = \frac{RS}{EF} \)
4. \( \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{RS}{EF} \)

#### Multiple-Choice Options:
- \( \circ \) A
- \( \circ \) B
- \( \circ \) C
- \( \circ \) D

#### Important Notes:
- Analyze each proportion to determine which one is not correct based on the properties of similar triangles.
- Right triangles with common angles have proportional corresponding sides.

### Explanation of Diagram:
- The first diagram shows \( \triangle ABC \) with angles labeled, including the right angle at \( C \).
- The second diagram shows \( \triangle RST \) with its angles labeled, including the right angle at \( T \).

### Task:
Identify and explain which proportion among the given options is not correct.
