Answer:

Figure CDEF [is not] congruent to Figure OPQR because rigid motions [cannot] be used to map figure CDEF onto Figure OPQR

Explanations:

By careful observation of figures CDEF and OPQR, we would notice that:

The two figurres do not have exactly the same shape

The lengths of supposed corresponding sides are not the same

Rigid motions can only be said to map two figures together if the shape and size are preserved.

Also, if rigid motions (rigid transformations) are unable to map two figures together, then the two figures are not congruent
