The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that  DEFG is a parallelogram.

Draw the diagonals DF and EG. Place point H where DF and EG intersect.

In triangle HGD and HEF

,

∠HGD ≅ ∠HEF                            (Alternate Interior angle)

∠HDG ≅ ∠HFE                      (Alternate Interior angle)

By the definition of a parallelogram, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

DG ≅ EF                                      (Opposite sides of parallelogram)

According to ASA postulate, two triangles are congruent if any two angles and their included side are equal in both triangles.

So, by using ASA criterion for congruence we get,

ΔDGH ≅ ΔFEH

Since corresponding sides of congruent triangles are congruent, therefore

GH ≅ EH                      (CPCTC)

DH ≅ FH                     (CPCTC)

Option A is correct.
