    The correct answer is C. Side J is congruent to side LM.

    IJ = LM.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Side-angle-side postulate states that if the pair of a corresponding sides and angles formed between these sides of two triangles are equal in measurement then these two triangle are said to be congruent.

    As shown in figure 1 below:

    In Δ HIJ and ΔKLM,

    ∠I = ∠L = 20° and HI = KL = 5 units

    Since the ∠I lies between HI and IJ and ∠L lies between KL and LM, ∴ if IJ = LM then Δ HIJ and ΔKLM will be congruent by SAS postulate.
