The two galaxies in the image appear to have extended disks and spiral arms, suggesting a disk galaxy morphology. Additionally, they appear to be interacting, with distorted shapes and tidal tails. This suggests they are in the process of merging, or at least undergoing a close interaction. Therefore, the best choice is two interacting disk galaxies.
