Answer:

C. Left 7

Explanation:

The question asks us about the number of units the x-coordinates of the parallelogram moved, therefore we have to look for the horizontal translation of the points A, B, C, and D.

To do this, we can look at the position of any of these points and the position of its corresponding point, to figure out how many units to the left or right they have moved.

For example, let's look at A and A':

To go from A to A', we have to move 7 units to the left.

It's the same for B and B' as well as the other points and their corresponding points.

Therefore the x-coordinates of parallelogram ABCD have moved 7 units to the left.
