Given that HG is the perpendicular bisector of JK, it means that

JG = KG

HG is common to triangles JGH and KGH

angle JGH and angle KGH are 90 degrees. They are congruent

Since 2 corresponding sides and an angle of triangles JGH and KGH are congruent, it means that the triangles are congruent. Thus,

HJ = HK

Option C is correct
