Answer:

B. The argument is invalid because the conclusion does not follow the premises.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given △ABC and △QRS are congruent.In congruent triangles corresponding sides and angles are equal.

Thus the conclusion The corresponding angles of △ABC and △QRS are not congruent is not a valid statement.

If the triangles are congruent then the conclusion reached is not following the given statement .Hence The argument is invalid because the conclusion does not follow the premises.

Option B is the right answer.
