Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
Image with description 2 triangles have congruent bases, congruent side lengths, and congruent angles that are not included between two congruent sides.
B
Image with description A triangle has no labels. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from the vertex to the opposite base and divides the base into 2 equal halves, so 2 identical triangles are formed.
C
Image with description 2 triangles have a common side, 2 congruent bases, and 2 congruent altitudes.
D
Image with description 2 congruent triangles have a common altitude, congruent angles at the vertex, and congruent base angles at the altitude.
