Answer:

The correct option is;

The points on the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle are equidistant from the vertices of the side it bisects

Explanation:

With the assumption that that the question meant that ΔACD and ΔBCD are congruent, we have;

Segment
\overline {AC} is congruent to segment
\overline {BC} by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

Similarly, segment
\overline {DA} is congruent to segment
\overline {DB} by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent, CPCTC

Therefore, the points on the perpendicular bisector of a side of a triangle are equidistant from the vertices of the side it bisects
