Answer:

I checked and D isn't the right answer I tried it on the test and got it wrong but I guessed the second time and I got it right so the real answer is Dilation and rotation.

When it comes to rotation (found in A, B, and C), this transformation will always create a congruent triangle.
This is not the case with D, however, as length/shape of a triangle is changed, and therefore, it is not a congruent, but a similar triangle.
The correct answer is translation and reflection.
