Answer:

  C. triangle MPO is congruent to triangle MNO by SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

Enough information is given in the diagram so that we know ...

  ΔMNO ≅ ΔOPM

by either the SSS or SAS congruence postulates.

What makes statement C false is the fact that the vertices listed are not corresponding vertices.

Additional comment

The wording here is of the form <angle 1> is congruent to <angle 2> by <some triangle congruence postulate>. A triangle congruence postulate can be used to show triangle congruence. Angle congruence must be based on a different claim.
