Answer
Given,
In triangle ABC and DEF,
AB = DE (Given)
AC = EF (Given)
According to option 1 :
BC = DF
In such case all three sides are equal.
Then both the triangles will be congruent by S.S.S. axiom.
According to option 2 :
∠A = ∠E
In such case two sides and the included angle will be equal.
Then both the triangles will be congruent by S.A.S. axiom.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
