To prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, we can use the information given about the sides.

The correct response is:

In a parallelogram, one of the key properties is that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. Since the problem states that two sets of opposite sides are marked as congruent, we can conclude that quadrilateral ABCD is indeed a parallelogram based on this property.
