Reflection. Reflection is when you flip an object over an axis. Flipping the triangle over axis wouldn't change the triangles properties.

Answer: C. Reflection

Explanation:

There are three rigid transformations which create congruent figures :

a)reflections, b) rotations, c) translations

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure on the coordinate plane across a given line without changing the shape or size of the figure.

A translation moves a shapes by a particular distance.

A rotation rotates a shape around a fix point by an angle .

Therefore, the transformation can verify congruence by flipping a triangle over the y-axis is reflection.
