Step-by-step explanation:

From the question , we will utilize the concept of isosceles triangles

Concept:

The isosceles triangle theorem states that the angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal in measurement. So, in an isosceles triangle △ABC where AB = AC, we have ∠B = ∠C.

From the steps, we can see that


\angle2\cong\angle5(substituting\text{ property of congruency\rparen}

Hence,

We can cconclude that the final answer is


EC=BC(properties\text{ of isosceles triangles\rparen}

OPTION A is the correct answer
