Option 4 : Student's misconception needs to be addressed by the teacher.

Misconceptions are nothing but the wrong concepts and generalizations which are registered in the students' minds. This should be erased and replaced by the correct concept by the teacher as soon as possible because students will use the same concepts once they get promoted to a higher grade.

The congruence of figures is one of the important topics of mathematics.
In the example, a student said that two regions having the same area are also congruent.
This shows that the student has a misconception regarding the properties which leads to the congruence of the two figures.
Hence this misconception should be addressed as soon as possible by the teacher and replaced by the correct concept.

Hence the statement "Student's misconception needs to be addressed by the teacher" is correct regarding the student's response in the above example.
