Answer:

The correct option is 2.

Explanation:

The vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(-1,-2), B(-2,-1), C(-4,-1), D(-3,-2).

In option 1, ABCD reflected about x-axis, y=x, x-axis, y=x.


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)\rightarrow(-y,x)\rightarrow(-y,-x)\rightarrow(-x,-y)\\eq(x,y)

Therefore option 1 is incorrect.

In option 2, ABCD reflected about y=x, x-axis, y=x, y-axis.


(x,y)\rightarrow(y,x)\rightarrow(y,-x)\rightarrow(-x,y)\rightarrow(x,y)=(x,y)

Therefore the parallelogram ABCD onto itself. Option 2 is correct.

In option 3, ABCD reflected about y-axis, x-axis, y-axis.


(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)\rightarrow(-x,-y)\rightarrow(x,-y)\\eq (x,y)

Therefore option 3 is incorrect.

In option 4, ABCD reflected about x-axis, y-axis, y-axis.


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)\rightarrow(-x,-y)\rightarrow(x,-y)\\eq (x,y)

Therefore option 4 is incorrect.
