Answer: Dilation.

Explanation:

From the given picture , it can be seen that the size of trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is decreased from trapezoid PQRS .

Reflection , rotation and translation are rigid motions that produces congruent images and do not change the size of the shapes.

But dilation is not a rigid motion because it changes the size of the shape by using a scale factor.

Hence, the transformation maps trapezoid PQRS onto trapezoid P'Q'R'S' is "Dilation".

It would be dilation, because the shape is made to look smaller the throw you off.

Answer is DILATION
