Solution

The correct option is C Only right angled triangles
Hypotenuse leg congruency rule: when the hypotaneus and a side of right angled triangle is congruent to the hypotaneus and the corresponding side of another right triangle then both the triangles are congruent to each other.

So, it is clear that hypotenuse leg congruency rule can be used in Right angled triangles only. So, option $(c)$ correct.
