Answer: D. AB congruent to DE

Explanation:

Given: ΔABC congruent to ΔTUV and ΔTUV congruent to ΔDEF ,

Since we know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

Then, If ΔABC≅ ΔTUV

⇒AB≅TU......................................(1)

BC≅UV

AC≅TV

If ΔTUV ≅ ΔDEF

⇒ TU≅DE....................................................(2)

Applying transitive property of congruence in (1) and (2), we get

AB≅DE

UV≅EF

TV≅DF
