Identify the properties of the incenter

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Incenter } P \text{ is the intersection of the angle bisectors of } \Delta RST.\\ &\text{The distance from } P \text{ to each side of the triangle is equal.}\\ &PB \perp RS, \quad PA \perp RT, \quad PC \perp ST\\ &PA = PB = PC \end{aligned}$$

\]

Evaluate the given options

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\overline{CP} \cong \overline{RP} \quad (\text{False, } P \text{ is not equidistant from vertices})\\ &\overline{BP} \cong \overline{PC} \quad (\text{True, since } PB = PC)\\ &\angle PSC \cong \angle PTC \quad (\text{False, angles are bisected but not necessarily equal to each other})\\ &\angle BPS \cong \angle APT \quad (\text{False, these angles are not congruent in general}) \end{aligned}$$

\]

Determine the correct statement

\[
\overline{BP} \cong \overline{PC}
\]
