The correct response is:
A translation will change position only, while a rotation will change orientation only.
In a translation, all points of a shape move the same distance in the same direction, changing the position of the shape without altering its orientation. In contrast, a rotation involves turning the shape around a fixed point (the center of rotation), which changes its orientation but not its position relative to the center of rotation.
