Solution

The correct option is C AAA
Angle-angle-angle (AAA) is not a valid criterion for congruency of triangles. If two triangles have equal angles, then the triangles are similar, but not congruent.
For example consider two equilateral triangles of sides 3 cm and 5 cm respectively. All their angles measure 60o, but they are not congruent as their sides are not equal.
