Answer:

∆ZVY ≅ ∆WVY

Explanation:

According to the image attached, a parallelogram is divided in two congruent triangles, where


\angle VZY \cong \angle YWV\\\angle ZVY \cong \angle WVY, by given.

Also,
\angle VZY + \angle ZVY + \angle VYZ = 180\°, by internal angles theorem.

Also,
\angle YWV + \angle WVY + \angle VYW = 180\°, by internal angles theorem.

Then,


\angle VYZ= \angle VYW \\

Therefore,
\triangle VZY \cong \triangle VWY, by AAA postulate of congruence.

So, the right anwer is ∆ZVY ≅ ∆WVY, because it shows correctly each pair a vertices.
