Solution

The correct option is A True
If two triangles are congruent then the two triangles cover each other exactly that is on superimposition.
We observe that the vertices of one triangle coincide with the vertices of the other triangle. Also the sides and angles of one triangle coincide with the sides and angles of other triangle. These coinciding parts are called corresponding parts.
Therefore, their corresponding sides and their corresponding angles are congruent.
Hence, the above statement is true.
