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".
