This question is asking what else needs to be congruent to prove that triangles \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle XYZ \) are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) postulate. 

The ASA postulate requires that two angles and the included side in one triangle are congruent to the corresponding two angles and the included side in another triangle.

### Given:
- \( \angle X \cong \angle A \)
- \( \angle Y \cong \angle B \)

To satisfy the ASA postulate, the side between these angles, which is side \( AC \) in \( \triangle ABC \) and side \( XZ \) in \( \triangle XYZ \), must be congruent. Therefore, we need to know if \( AC \cong XZ \).

### Answer:
The correct option is **D**: \( AC \cong XZ \).

5. What are the applications of triangle congruence in real-world scenarios?

**Tip:** When proving triangle congruence, always ensure that the congruent angles or sides you choose include the side between the two angles for ASA or the angle between the two sides for SAS.

What else would need to be congruent to show that triangle ABC is congruent to triangle XYZ by ASA?
