I’d say b

Bc if you go in a clockwise rotation around both triangles, you’ll see that fg/ij are right next to fh/ik and then the angle making it SSA or Angle SS. But i could be wrong

Answer:

Correct choice is B

Explanation:

The Side Angle Side postulate (SAS) states that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and the included angle of another triangle, then these two triangles are congruent.

Option A, C and D contain two sides and the included angle of triangle FGH and corresponding two sides and the included angle of triangle IJK.

Option B contains two sides and the angle opposite to one side of triangle FGH and corresponding two sides and the angle opposite to one side of triangle IJK. In this option the congruence of two triangles cannot be proved by SAS theorem.
