Which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by SAS?

A
2 triangles with identical angle measures are shown. The second triangle is shifted to the right.
Option A
B
2 triangles are shown. They have 2 congruent sides and a congruent angle. The first triangle is rotated about a point to form the second triangle.
Option B
C
2 triangles are shown. They have 1 congruent side and 2 congruent angles. The first triangle is rotated about a shared side to form the second triangle.
Option C
D

Triangles A B C and D E F are shown. Triangle A B C is rotated to the left about point A and then is shifted up and to the right to form triangle D E F.

Question illustration
A
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
B
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point B to align the sides and angles.
C
Translate vertex B to vertex D, and then reflect △ABC across the line containing AC.
D
Translate vertex A to vertex D, and then rotate △ABC around point A to align the sides and angles.

On a coordinate plane, 2 triangles are shown. Triangle A B C has points (negative 1, negative 1), (2, negative 1), and (negative 1, negative 5). Triangle R S T has points (1, 1), (1, 5), and (4, 1).

Question illustration
A
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the x-axis and a translation 2 units to the left.
B
The figures are congruent. ΔRST can be mapped to ΔACB by a reflection over the y-axis and a translation 2 units down.
C
The figures are not congruent. Point R corresponds to point A, but S corresponds to B and T corresponds to C.
D
The figures are not congruent. Point R does not correspond with point A.

B
n = 3x + 5
C
n = x – 1
D
3x + 5 < n < x – 1
