ANSWER:
( 2 ) The image and preimage are different shapes.
EXPLANATION:
The statement which is false regarding a dilation is that the image and preimage are different in shapes. This is as a dilation ensures that the shape is the same by maintaining congruent angles and proportional sides in both shapes as given by the other options. Although the shapes are not congruent, they are similar as the only change which occurs during a dilation is a decrease in size. No changes are made to its shape.
