Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

In the given triangles ΔRSW and ΔWXY,

m(∠S) = m(∠X) = 60° [Given]

Properties of congruence of two triangles applicable in this question,

SAS or ASA

For the congruence of two triangles by the property SAS,

"Two corresponding sides and the included angle should be congruent"

RS ≅ WX, ST ≅ XY and ∠S ≅ ∠X

Which is not given in any option.

For the congruence of two triangles by the property ASA,

"Two consecutive angles and the side having these angles should be congruent"

∠R ≅ ∠W, ∠S ≅ ∠X and RS ≅ XY

Option C will be the correct option.
