Answer:

DILATION. Option A is correct.

Explanations:

Figures are said to be congruent when they are of the same shape and size.

When a figure is either reflected, rotated, or translated, what we are merely doing is changing the location of such figure in an xy-plane to another location. The geometry of both the image and the pre-image of the figure is not affected.

For dilation, this transformation involves changing the size of an image. For instance, if the coordinate of a figure say (x, y) is dilated by a factor of 2, the resulting coordinate of the image will be (2x, 2y). This shows that the resulting image is twice that of its pre-image.

Hence the transformations that may produce an image that is not congruent to the preimage ​is DILATION
