Answer:

Dilation and reflection

Explanation:

The operations:

Rotation

Reflection

Translation

do NOT change the actual dimensions of the triangle's sides, the side lengths remain the same, so the triangles remain congruent.

On the other hand, if one includes Dilation in the transformations, the triangle's sides get augmented in side (although proportional), therefore, the new triangle is not congruent with the original one, although due to proportionality of the dilation process, it remains "similar" to the original one.

Bottom line: the transformation listed as "Dilation and reflection" is the one that creates a similar but not congruent triangle.
