When a triangle (or any shape) is reflected over the y-axis, the orientation of the triangle changes. Specifically, if the original orientation is counterclockwise, after reflecting it over the y-axis, the orientation becomes clockwise.

Therefore, the correct response is:

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
