Answer:


\overline{DF} could be a midsegment of ∠ABC.

Explanation:

A midsegment of a triangle must be two things:

1. Parallel to the 3rd side, in this case,
\overline{AD}.

2. Half the length of the 3rd side, in this case,
\overline{AD}.

Since we don't know the lengths, we can only go off of 1. There is only one line that is parallel to
\overline{AD} and it is
\overline{DF}.

Hope this helped!
