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.
