Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using two reflections?

A
Triangles X Y Z and P Y T are connected at point Y. Triangle X Y Z is reflected across X Y and then is reflected another time across Y Z to form triangle P Y T.
Option A
B
Triangles X Y Z and A Y T are connected at point Y. Triangle X Y Z is reflected 3 times to form triangle A Y T.
Option B
C
Triangles X Y Z and A Y T are connected at point Y. Triangle X Y Z is reflected across side X Y and then is shifted down to form triangle A Y T.
Option C
D
Triangles X Y Z and A Z T are connected at point Z. Triangle X Y Z is reflected and then rotated to form triangle A Z T.
Option D

Which shows two triangles that are congruent by AAS?

Question illustration
A
2 right triangles are connected at one side. The triangles have 1 congruent side and 2 congruent angles. The second triangle is a reflection of the first triangle.
Option A
B
2 triangles are connected at one side. The triangles have 2 congruent sides and 1 congruent angle. The first triangle is rotated to form the second triangle.
Option B
C
2 triangles are connected at one side. All sides are congruent.
Option C
D
2 triangles are connected at one side. The triangles have 2 congruent sides and 1 congruent angle. The first triangle is rotated and then translated down to form the second triangle.
Option D

Which shows two triangles that are congruent by ASA?

Question illustration
A
2 right triangles are connected at one side. The triangles have 2 congruent sides and one congruent angle.
Option A
B
2 triangles are connected at one side. The triangles also have 2 congruent angles. The first triangle can be rotated to form the second triangle.
Option B
C
2 triangles have 3 congruent angles. The second triangle is to the right of the first triangle.
Option C
D
