The reason given for the statement are based on information from

the question, or a postulate or theorem.

Answer:

A. Zoe used an invalid reason to justify the congruence of a pair of sides or angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The diagram does support the claim that \angle A \cong \angle C∠A≅∠Cangle, A, \cong, angle, C because they both have double arcs.

Step 1 is correct.

Step 2

The diagram does not give us congruence symbols or equal measures for \angle DEA∠DEAangle, D, E, A and \angle BEC∠BECangle, B, E, C.

Zoe needed to justify this step by stating that vertical angles are congruent.

Zoe used an invalid reason to justify the congruence of a pair of sides or angles.
