Answer:

ΔADB~ΔCDB; SAS~

Explanation:

Due to the tick marks on AD and DC, we know that those sides are congruent

We also know that the angle D is congruent due to the marks

As they share line BD, that side is also congruent.

This means that we have a side, an angle, and another side.

This leaves us with the last two options

The only difference between them is what angle corresponds to which

In the case of this triangle, A and C correspond with each other and B and D are shared. This means we are looking for when the locations of A and C, and B and D are matched

This would mean that the 4th option
