Answer:

D. If and , then is an example of transitive property of congruence.

Explanation:

Transitive property of congruenc: If one segment is congruent to second segment and second is congruent to third segment then the segment one is congruent to third segment.

For example: If
\overline{ AB} \cong  \overline {BC}

and
\overline{BC} \cong \overline{CD}

Then
\overline{AB} \cong  \overline {CD}

Therefore we can see in angles

If
\angle ABC \cong \angle BCA

And
\angle BCA \cong \angle CAB

Then
\angle ABC\cong \angle CAB

Therefore, the statement of transitive property written as

If and, then

Hence, If and, then is an example of the transitive property of congruence.
