If two triangles are congruent, it means that the lengths of their corresponding sides and angles are equal. Thus, the triangles have equal sizes. Transformations involing rotation, reflection and translation does not change the size of the triangle but dilation does. It increases or decreases it. Thus, the correct option is

C. dilation
