The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.

The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.

Answer 1

When a triangle with a counterclockwise orientation is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the reflected figure changes to clockwise. This is because reflecting the vertices of a shape across an axis reverses the order in which they appear.

So the correct response is:

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
