Answer is A. PQRST = XWVZY

Explanation- the 2nd figure was transformed with a reflection and a rotation

We know the congruent vertices will match exactly in how they are sequenced in order

First I located the same vertices of S and Z

Second I noticed the 2nd figure was reflected so I rearranged the sequence of vertices to match the reflection

Problem solved!
