In the diagram of circle O, chord AB is parallel to chord CD.

A correct justification for m arcAC = m arcBD in circle O is

• parallel chords intercept congruent arcs

• congruent chords intercept congruent arcs

• if two chords are parallel, then they are congruent

• if two chords are equidistant from the center, then the arcs they intercept are congruent
