This looks like were trying to prove a pair of angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

To do that we need the fact that it's an isosceles triangle, which is AB=AC.

That's choice A.

None of the other choices make sense just by symmetry. AD=AC, nope the middle and the side, BD=AD, nope, AB=BD, nope.

choice A.
