Answer:

A

Explanation:

First, the list of congruence theorems are:

SSS

SAS

ASA

AAS

HL

SSA is not on the list, so we can cross that out

Next, ASA implies that two angles are congruent, but we only know that one pair of angles (the right angles) are congruent, so we can cross that out

After that, the angle is not connecting the congruent sides, so D is not an option

Finally, we know that the longest sides (AD / AC) are congruent to each other, one other pair of legs/sides are congruent, and the triangles are both right triangles. Therefore, we can apply HL here
