Similar triangles have the same shape (corresponding angles are congruent) but not necessarily the same size. Congruent triangles have the same size and shape (corresponding sides and angles are congruent). Option A describes congruent triangles. Option B is incorrect as similar triangles have the same shape. Option D is for congruent triangles. Only option C is a property of similar triangles.
