Answer: The answer is (C) 180° rotation.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the point A maps to the point A' by a rotation. We are to select the statement that describes the rotation.

In the given figure, the co-ordinates of point A are (-3, 5) and after rotation, the co-ordinates of point A' are (3, -5).

Therefore, the point (x, y) changes to (-x, -y) after rotation. This is the result of 180° rotation.

Therefore, the point A is rotated through an angle of 180° to reach at the point A'.

Thus, the correct option is (C) 180° rotation.
