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

Triangles Q R S and T U V are shown. Triangle Q R S is translated across S Q and then is shifted down and to the right to form triangle T U V.

Question illustration
A
No, the triangles are not congruent.
B
Yes, a translation mapping vertex Q to vertex T and a reflection across the line containing QS will map △QRS to △TUV.
C
No, the triangles are obtuse.
D
Yes, a translation mapping vertex S to vertex T and a reflection across the line containing RS will map △QRS to △TUV.
