A. Equilateral

Explanation
An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has all three sides of equal length. This means that all angles in the triangle are also equal, measuring 60 degrees each. In contrast, an isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, while a scalene triangle has no sides of equal length. Therefore, the correct answer is equilateral.
