To determine the composition transformation defined by the mapping (x, y) → (y + 5, -x), let's analyze the transformation step by step.

1. The new x-coordinate is \( y + 5 \). This means that the x-coordinate is being replaced by the original y-coordinate increased by 5. This indicates a translation to the right by 5 units (because of the "+5") and a change of axes (since \( y \) is now the x-coordinate).

2. The new y-coordinate is \( -x \). This indicates that the original x-coordinate has been reflected across the x-axis (since it becomes negative).

Putting these two observed transformations together:

- **First**, there is a change in the role of x and y.
- **Second**, there is a reflection (specifically across the x-axis because the new y-coordinate is negative, which reflects the original x-coordinate).
- **Lastly**, there is a translation of the resulting x-coordinate upward by 5 units.

Therefore, the overall transformation does not fit perfectly into any of the listed choices, but the closest interpretation is that it creates a reflection across the y-axis and then translates. However, the wording may vary.

Based on the specific options provided, the best fit for this mapping given the transformations involved is:

**A reflection across the x-axis and a translation to the upper side by 5.**

If we must choose only from the options provided, none accurately describe the transformation, as the closest option is a combination of effects not directly listed.
