If you apply the geometric description of reflections across parallel lines, the transformation that can be predicted to be part of a composition transformation is a translation (option A).

When reflecting a figure across parallel lines, the overall transformation consists of two individual reflections. The first reflection will create a new figure, and the second reflection will produce the final result by reflecting the newly created figure across the same set of parallel lines. These two reflections form a composition of transformations.

It is important to note that a composition transformation can involve multiple transformations combined in a specific order. In this case, the reflection across parallel lines is followed by another reflection across the same set of parallel lines, resulting in a translation.
