Answer:

The transformation is a rotation.

Explanation:

The incorrect answers can be ruled out as follows:

  • dilation would change the size, but not the directions of the lines
  • reflection would change the DEF ordering from clockwise to counterclockwise
  • translation would move the figure, but not change the directions of the lines

The image is the same size as the original. Each of the sides of the triangle is moved through the same angle. The transformation is a rotataion.

The center of rotation can be found as the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of DD', EE' and FF'
