Answer:

T

Explanation:

The figure has 5-fold rotational symmetry, so each 72° of CCW rotation will bring point N to the next vertex in the CCW direction. Rotation of 288° will move point N 4 vertices CCW, equivalent to 1 vertex in the CW direction. Either way, that point is now occupied by point T.

N' ≅ T
