I don’t have the coordinates of A, B, C, D, and E, so I can’t tell which of the four choices is correct. Please give the coordinates (or a diagram) for A, B, C and for D and E.
If you want to check the options yourself, here’s the quick method (assuming the correspondence is D↔A, E↔B, F↔C):
1. Compute AC^2 = (xC − xA)^2 + (yC − yA)^2 and BC^2 = (xC − xB)^2 + (yC − yB)^2.
2. For each candidate F = (xF,yF) compute DF^2 = (xF − xD)^2 + (yF − yD)^2 and EF^2 = (xF − xE)^2 + (yF − yE)^2.
3. F is a valid image of C exactly when DF^2 = AC^2 and EF^2 = BC^2 (both equalities hold).
(Using squared distances avoids square roots.) If you paste the coordinates I’ll test the four choices for you and show the work.
