Answer: C.
\angle{B}\cong\angle{Y}

Explanation:

  • AAS theorem says that if two angles and a non-included side of a triangle are congruent to two angles and a non-included side of other triangle then the triangles are congruent.

In the given picture , we have ΔABC and ΔXYZ

Given :
\angle{A}\cong\angle{X}


\overline{AC}\cong\overline{XZ}

To show both the triangles are congruent by AAS theorem , we need one more angle such that the given sides must remains non-included.

Thus,
\angle{B} must be congruent to
\angle{Y} to show ΔABC ≅ ΔXYZ by AAS.

[If we take
\angle{C}\cong\angle{Z}, then the triangles are congruent by ASA]
