Answer: the correct option is

(D) A translation 5 units to the right, followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given two triangles ABC and A'B'C' on the co-ordinate grid.

We are given to select the set of transformations is performed on triangle ABC to form triangle A’B’C’.

From the graph, we note that

the co-ordinate of the vertices of triangle ABC are A(-4, -1), B(-3, -1) and C(-4, -4).

And, the co-ordinates of the vertices of triangle A'B'C' are A'(-1, 1), B'(-2, 1) and C'(-1, 4).

We know that if a point (x, y) is translated 5 units right, followed by a rotation of 180-degrees clockwise about the origin, then its new co-ordinates becomes

(x, y) ⇒ (-x-5, -y).

So, after these two transformations, the co-ordinates of the vertices of triangle ABC will become

A(-4, -1) ⇒ (4-5, 1) = (-1, 1),

B(-3, -1) ⇒ (3-5, 1) = (-2, 1)

and

C(-4, -4) ⇒ (4-5, 4) = (-1, 4).

The new co-ordinates are the co-ordinates of the vertices of triangle A'B'C'.

Thus, the required set transformations is

A translation 5 units to the right, followed by a 180-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin.

Thus, option (D) is CORRECT.
