For the triangles to be similar, the dimensions of all sides must have the same ratio by dividing the 3-4-5 triangle.
The 6-8-10 triangle will have a scale factor of 2 since all dimensions are doubled the original 3-4-5 triangle.
The only correct answer that will yield similar ratios is the 
triangle with a scale factor of 4 from the 3-4-5 triangle.
The other answers will yield different ratios.

By definition, a right triangle has to have one right angle, or a 
angle, and an isosceles triangle has 
equal base angles and two equal side lengths.
