The orientation could be clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how you do the reflection.

Answer 1

When a triangle (or any shape) is reflected over the y-axis, its orientation is flipped. In Jack's case, he starts with a triangle that has a counterclockwise orientation. Upon reflecting it over the y-axis, the orientation of the triangle will change to clockwise.

So the correct answer is:

The reflected figure has a clockwise orientation.
