Answer:

E

Explanation:

You already know that TS = AB and TU = BC because it shows that in the images using the tick marks. SSS Triangle Congruence Postulate is when two triangles are congruent to each other because all the corresponding side lengths are equal to each other. So we already have two side lengths that are equal to each other, and, in order for SSS to be true, we need all 3 side lengths to be equal to each other. The only two side lengths not equal to each other yet are US and CA so if those were to be equal to each other, all corresponding side lengths would be equal to each other.

Let me know if you have any questions.
