To determine if parallelograms ADCB and EHGF are congruent, we need to understand the transformations that could have been applied to one parallelogram to obtain the other.

1. **Reflected**: If parallelogram ADCB was reflected, it means that it is flipped over a line. This does not change the size or shape of the figure, and therefore, the two parallelograms would be congruent.

2. **Translated**: Translation moves a figure without changing its shape or size, so if parallelogram ADCB was translated to get EHGF, they remain congruent.

3. **Dilated**: Dilation changes the size of a figure. If parallelogram ADCB was dilated to obtain EHGF, they are not congruent since their sizes differ.

4. **Rotated**: Rotation turns a figure around a point but does not change its size or shape. Therefore, if ADCB was rotated to become EHGF, they are congruent.

From this analysis, we can conclude:
- If ADCB was reflected or translated or rotated, then ADCB ≅ EHGF.
- If ADCB was dilated, then they are not congruent.

In conclusion, without knowing the specific transformation used, we can determine the following statements about their congruence:

- "Yes, ADCB ≅ EHGF because parallelogram ADCB was reflected."
- "Yes, ADCB ≅ EHGF since parallelogram ADCB was translated."
- "Yes, ADCB ≅ EHGF because parallelogram ADCB was rotated."

Among the provided options, the answer would be one of the first three affirmations you highlighted. The last option, regarding dilation, is not correct.
