    angle E = angle X; DF = WY

    see the explanation

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The options of the question are

    (A) angle E = angle X; DF = XY

    (B) angle D = angle Y; EF = XY

    (C) angle E = angle X; DF = WY

    (D) angle F = angle X; DE = WX

    we know that

    If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

    In this problem

    Triangles DEF and WXY are congruent

    so

    Corresponding sides are named using pairs of letters in the same position on either side of the congruence statement

    DE≅WX

    EF≅XY

    DF≅WY

    Corresponding angles are named using a letter in the same position on either side of the congruence statement

    ∠D≅∠W

    ∠E≅∠X

    ∠F≅∠Y

    therefore

    angle E = angle X; DF = WY
