Answer : Option A) Translation


Explanation : A composition of reflections over parallel lines is the same as a Translation.


To identify if the composition of reflections over parallel lines are same as translation or not?


We can check using a picture of some shape in the plane. Place the picture on the right side of two vertical parallel. Now, we can see the reflected the shape over the nearest parallel line, then check the reflection over the other parallel line. We see that the shape winds up in the same orientation, like it was just shifted over to the right. Hence, it is translation.
