The correct answer is a.segment MN ≅ segment
Segment MN ≅ segment PQ (not QR) - the order of presentation makes a difference.

Answer: a. segment MN ≅ segment QR

Explanation:

If ΔMNO is congruent to ΔPQR then its corresponding angles and sides are congruent. [by CPCTC]

Therefore, segment MN ≅ segment PQ

segment NO ≅ segment QR

segment OM ≅ segment RP

And ∠M ≅ ∠P

∠N ≅ ∠Q

∠O ≅ ∠R

So only option a) is not correct, thus option a. is the statement which is not true.
