I need the answer with explanation. please. 

**Problem: Congruence in Triangles**

Suppose \( \angle C \cong \angle B \), \( \angle D \cong \angle A \), \( AE \cong BE \), and \( CE \cong DE \). Does that prove that the triangles are congruent? Justify your answer.

### Diagram Description:

The diagram shows two triangles, \( \triangle CED \) and \( \triangle AEB \), that share a common vertex \( E \) and have bases \( CD \) and \( AB \) respectively, forming an "X" shape with the triangles inverted.

### Answer Options:

- **A.** Yes, the two triangles have congruent angles. So the sides and triangles are congruent.
- **B.** No, the two triangles have congruent angles but not necessarily congruent sides with each other.
- **C.** Yes, the two triangles have congruent angles and are both isosceles triangles.
