Solution

The correct option is B
False

$\frac{P S}{S Q} = \frac{P T}{T R}$ ...... (given)

$S T ∥ Q R$ ...... (converse of BPT)

Therefore, $∠ P S T = ∠ R Q R a n d ∠ P T Q = ∠ P T R$

Therefore $△ P S T \sim △ P Q R$ ...... (AA similarity)

Therefore, the information provided in the question is sufficient to prove that the triangles are similar.
