Answer;

Line reflection

Line reflection is the rigid motion that does not preserve orientation.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Line Reflection does not preserve orientation., it preserves the distance, and is an example of opposite isometry.

-Dilation (scaling), rotation and translation (shift) preserves the orientation.

-Orientation or attitude of an object is part of the description of how it is placed in the space it occupies (the order of points around a shape in a specific direction)..

-Rigid Motion is a transformation that preserves distance and angle measure.

It is primarily rotation that does not preserver orientation, since a rotating object's perspective on its surroundings changes with each step of the rotation slightly.
