This question can't be specifically answered without the shapes, but I can offer descriptions as to what each of the answer choices means.

If two shapes are the same shape, then it doesn't matter if they have sides the same length, all that matters is if they are the same shape. For example, you can have two rectangles that are different sizes, but they are still the same shame.

Congruent shapes are exactly the same size and shape, with exactly the same lengths of each side.

Similar shapes are the same shape, but one shape is smaller than the other by a specific number. For example, if you had one triangle and then divided each side by 2, the resulting triangle would be similar to the original.

If two shapes are the same size, then when you find the area of the two shapes, the areas of both shapes are the same. The way the shape looks doesn't matter for this.
