The figure below shows two triangles that were constructed using a compass and straightedge. Ryan used the SSS postulate to prove that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DEF.
Which of these steps would Ryan have likely performed to prove that the two triangles are congruent by the SSS postulate?

Place the compass on A and set the width to side AC. Without changing the width place the compass on C and draw an arc that crosses CA at B. 

 Place the compass on A and set the width to side AC. Without changing the width place the compass on D and draw an arc that crosses DF at F. 

 Place the compass on A and draw an arc to cut side AC at X and side AB at Y. Place the compass on X and set the width of the compass to segment XY. 

 Place the compass on A and draw an arc to cross side AC at X and side AB at Y. Without changing the width draw a similar arc from point D.
