Answer:

Correct answer is D. ASA

Explanation:

Let us first define ASA congruence rule:

2 triangles are called congruent according to ASA congruence rule if 2 angles of the triangle and the corresponding side between these two angles are equal to each other.

In the question figure, we can figure out following conclusions from Triangles
\triangle SRT\text{ and }\triangle WXY respectively:


  1. \angle TRS = \angle YXW
  2. Side RS = Side WX

  3. \angle TSR = \angle YWX

As per the definition of option d) ASA congruence, the triangles are congruent.
