The figure below shows a quadrilateral ABCD. Sides AB and DC are equal and parallel: (First Image) A student wrote the following sentences to prove that quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram:

"Side AB is parallel to side DC, so the alternate interior angles, angle ABD and angle CDB, are congruent. Side AB is equal to side DC, and DB is the side common to triangles ABD and CDB. Therefore, the triangles ABD and CDB are congruent by SAS postulate. By CPCTC, angles DBC and BDA are congruent and sides AD and BC are congruent. Angle DBC and angle BDA form a pair of vertical angles that are congruent. Therefore, AD is parallel and equal to BC. Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram because its opposite sides are equal and parallel."

Which statement best describes a flaw in the student's proof?

- Triangles ABD and BCD are congruent by the SSS postulate instead of the SAS postulate.
- Triangles ABD and BCD are congruent by the AAS postulate instead of the SAS postulate.
- Angle DBC and angle BDA form a pair of corresponding angles, not a pair of vertical angles.
- Angle DBC and angle BDA form a pair of alternate interior angles that are congruent, not a pair of vertical angles.
