To determine which rigid transformation the image corresponds to, we need to consider the characteristics of each type of transformation:

  1. Rotation: This involves turning a figure around a fixed point. The image would show the original figure and its rotated position, maintaining the same shape and size.

  2. Reflection: This transformation flips a figure over a line (the line of reflection). The reflected image would show a mirror image of the original figure.

  3. Dilation: This transformation changes the size of a figure while keeping its shape the same. The image would show the original and a larger or smaller version of it, but they would be similar instead of congruent.

  4. Translation: This transformation slides a figure from one position to another without changing its orientation. The original and translated image would be congruent, just positioned differently.

Without seeing the actual image, I cannot definitively choose the correct transformation. Please refer to the characteristics listed above and match them to the image's description to determine the correct answer.
