I think that it is the second one

Mehek (mehek14):

no just by looking at both of them, you can tell they are not congruent

Triangle AEC is not congruent to the other 2 triangles so eliminate answer choice B

Mehek (mehek14):

ACE is the same triangle as AEC so eliminate A and C

Mehek (mehek14):
