Answer: B) Not enough info

While both arcs have the same degree measure (140 degrees), we don't have enough information about the radii. If the radius AO is the same length as radius OH, then the arcs are congruent. Otherwise, the arcs aren't congruent.

No, the arcs aren't congruent because the we don't know the size of both the circles, it is possible that one circle would be small and the other would have greater size than the first one, they only have same measure(140°) but not same size.
