Answer 1

Answer: (B)

transitive

If $\overline{AB}\cong \overline{CD}$, and $\overline{CD}\cong \overline{EF},$ then $\overline{AB}\cong \overline{EF}$ is a transitive property of congruence.

Transitive property: If two segments are congruent to the same segment, then they are congruent to each other.
