Option 1 would be the answer is the figure shows that the two sides and one angle of the angle are congruent.

Option 2 would be correct if both triangles have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding leg.

Option 3 would be the answer is the all three sides shows they are congruent.

Option 4 is the answer is there is no congruent measurements.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
