Answer:

see below

Explanation:

The image is reflected across the origin and enlarged by a factor of 3.

___

The first choice shows some funny combination of translation, rotation, and dilation. The last choice has point N invariant, which means that is the center of the (horizontal only) dilation. Neither of these matches the problem description.
