When a triangle (or any shape) is reflected over the y-axis, its orientation changes.

Since the original triangle has a counterclockwise orientation, reflecting it over the y-axis will change its orientation to clockwise.

Therefore, the correct response is:

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
