Answer: C.
\overline{SU}\cong\overline{JL}

Explanation:

  • SAS congruence postulate tells that if two sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to corresponding two sides and the included angle of other triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

In the given picture , we have two triangles ΔSTU and Δ JKL , in which we have


\overline{ST}\cong\overline{JK}


\angle{S}\cong\angle{J}

To prove ΔSTU is congruent to Δ JKL, we need
\overline{SU}\cong\overline{JL} such that
\angle{S}\text{ and }\angle{J} becomes congruent the included angles between pair of congruent sides.

Hence, C is the right option.
