SOLUTION:

Step 1:

In this question, we are given the following:

Step 2:

We are meant to select the option that is not true.

But before then, we need to select the options that are correct.

Now, for the two angle segments: DEF and ABC to be congruent, we have that:


\begin{gathered} \bar{BA}\bar{=ED}\text{ -OPTION A is correct} \\ \bar{BA}\bar{=EF}\text{ --OPTION B is correct} \\ AC\text{ = DF -- OPTION C is also correct} \\ AC\text{ = BC --OPTION D is not correct} \end{gathered}

CONCLUSION:

The option that is not true is: OPTION
