Detailed Solution

Consider the mentioned criteria for congruence of triangles.
SAS criterion:
If

2

pairs of corresponding sides of

2

triangles are equal in length, and the corresponding included angles are equal in measurement, then the triangles are congruent.
ASA criterion:
If

2

pairs of corresponding angles of

2

triangles are equal in measurement, and the corresponding sides are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
SSS criterion:
If

3

pairs of corresponding sides of

2

triangles are equal in length, then the triangles are congruent.
Now, SSA criterion:
The SSA condition (side-side-angle) which specifies

2

sides and a non-included angle does not by itself prove congruence.
Hence option 1) is correct.
