A) reflection, A) dilation

Explanation:

To produce a congruent figure, the angle measures of the image and the side lengths of the image must be the same as the angle measures and side lengths of the pre-image. This means we cannot shrink, expand, or contract the figure; by definition, those transformations change the size. This leaves reflection.

To produce a similar, but no congruent figure, we must change the side lengths while keeping the angle measures preserved. Translations, reflections and rotations will move a figure but do not change the side lengths; dilation is the only choice that will change the side lengths.
