How do you know?

A dilation is a transformation that changes the size (and possibly orientation) of a figure, but preserves the shape of the figure. It results in angles that remain congruent and sides that are proportional but not necessarily congruent. In other words, all the corresponding angles are congruent and all the corresponding sides are in the same proportion. Therefore, the answer is (a) dilation.
