The correct statement is: ∠RSQ corresponds to ∠QPS.
Explanation: Since the two scalene triangles are similar, their corresponding angles are equal. The statement mentions that ∠RQS ≅ ∠QSP, allowing us to establish a correspondence between other angles. Therefore, ∠RSQ, which is the angle at point R in the first triangle, corresponds to ∠QPS, the angle at point Q in the second triangle. The other options do not hold true based on the properties of similar triangles.
