When galaxies collide, the most accurate outcome from your list is that galaxies merge.

While the gravitational interaction can lead to changes in their structures and can result in the formation of new stars from the gas and dust involved, galaxies do not typically "triple in size," "destroy their stars" (though some may be thrown out of galaxies or form new stars), or "disappear." Instead, they often form a new galaxy as they combine.
