Answer:

D. none

Explanation:

we only know about the right angle at the bottom right.

that is not enough information.

we always need 3 pieces of confirmed information of each triangle to be able to say that the 2 triangles are indeed of the same shape and size.

like the other answer options would indicate :

SAS : side - angle - side.

2 sides and the enclosed angle. if we know they are equal, then the rest of the triangles follow automatically.

SSS : all 3 sides. with 3 defined sides there is only one possible shake and size for that triangle.

HL : Hypotenuse and a leg of a right-angled triangle (also 3 pieces of information - 2 sides and the right angle).

since we have only the right angle and nothing else, we cannot prove that the triangles are congruent.
