Solution

The correct option is C isosceles but not congruent
Correct option is A).
In △ABC and △PQR,
∠C = ∠P (Given)
∠B = ∠Q (Given)
∠A = ∠R (Third angle of the triangle)
△ABC ∼ △RQP

Also, given, AB = AC
Thus, ∠B = ∠C (Isosceles triangle Property)
But, ∠C = ∠P and ∠B = ∠Q.
Hence, ∠Q = ∠P
or
PR = QR

Thus, both the triangles are Isosceles but not congruent.
