20 Points for an answer! Please help! I have unlimited tries for the practice test, but I got this one wrong from an answer on here, Letter B doesn't work for the answer, I tried that already.

Beth is planning a playground and has decided to place the swings in such a way that they are the same distance from the jungle gym and the monkey bars. If Beth places the swings at point D, how could she prove that point D is equidistant from the jungle gym and monkey bars?

Question options:

A.) If segment AC ≅ segment BC, then point D is equidistant from points A and B because congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.


B.) If segment AD ≅ segment CD, then point D is equidistant from points A and B because a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment it intersects.
This one is incorrect according to my practice test I took.


C.) If segment AC ≅ segment BC, then point D is equidistant from points A and B because a point on a perpendicular bisector is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment it intersects.


D.) If segment AD ≅ segment CD, then point D is equidistant from points A and B because congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
