Angie states the following:

"Given two triangles, if two pairs of corresponding sides and one pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the triangles are congruent by Side-Angle-Side (SAS)."

-Which of the following options best describes Angie's statement?

A. Angie is correct since SAS requires two pairs of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles.

B. Angie is incorrect since SAS is not a congruence criterion that can be used to prove that two triangles are congruent.

C. Angie is correct since any two pairs of congruent sides and any pair of congruent angles will satisfy the SAS congruence criterion.

D. Angie is incorrect since triangles with two pairs of congruent sides and one pair of congruent angles do not necessarily meet the SAS orientation.
