Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

It can't be A, C, or, D because if the polygons were in a certain position, those transformations wouldn't work.

The definition of a rigid transformation is either a translation, rotation, or reflection. Therefore it must be B.

Sorry about how vague this is. It's hard to explain this without diagrams.
