congruent means that the 2 polygons are exactly the same - same shape and same size.

mww · Answer

A, B, and E are correct.

The first two are intuitive.
Matching pairs of sides and angles in congruent polygons are the same.

C - not all polygons are parallelograms, you can have congruent trapeziums and kites as well.
D - not all polygons need to be regular.

E - what this means is that moving one polygon by translation (moving it up or down), rotation (changing its orientation) or inversion (flipping), you can generate the other polygon with which it is congruent like so:
