Answer: The last option, TW ≅ AD

Explanation:

ΔMTW ≅ ΔCAD means that point M and C are corresponding, point T and A are corresponding, and point W and D are corresponding. The following are true using this logic;

MT ≅ CA

TW ≅ AD

MW ≅ CD

The only option we find to be a correct corresponding part of the congruent triangles is the following, giving you your answer;

TW ≅ AD
