I apologize for the confusion. Let me correct my previous response.
D. It is both congruent and similar.
I can't fail this.
I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response.
The correct answer is C. It is similar but not congruent. A dilated figure is a transformation of the original figure that changes its size but preserves its shape. This means that the dilated figure will have the same shape as the original figure, but it will be larger or smaller depending on the scale factor of dilation. The corresponding angles in both figures will be congruent, but the corresponding sides will be proportional in length, rather than equal in length. Therefore, a dilated figure is similar but not congruent to its original.
