Consider that a reflection acroos the x-axis is given by the transformation

T(x,y) => T'(x,-y)

Then for th given vertices, you have:

M(8,-8) => M'(8,8)

A(4,1) => A'(4,1)

T(1,-8) => T'(1,8)

next, a dilation of 0.25 is given by the product of the sscale factor and each coordinate of each vertex:

M'(8,8) => M''(2,2)

A'(4,1) => A''(1 , 0.25)

T'(1,8) => T''(0.25, 2)

Answer: B)
