Answer:

D.

Explanation:

to prove congruency of two triangles, you need two congruent sides and one congruent angle

in this case we are given exactly that, 2 sides and one angle that is congruent

we would also need to make sure that the given sides and angles are actually congruent, and not mismatched

we can do this by looking at the positions of the letters in each congruency statement

for example, the letters LO and MA are the first two letters in each triangle's name, this means that they are congruent and properly matched

if you do this with every statement that you are give, you can see that the triangles can be proven by SAS
