Answer:

Translation, then rotation.

Explanation:

If you translate the triangle BCD in such a way that vertex B maps onto vertex W, you'll realize that with rotation, you'll map the whole BCD triangle onto triangle WXY.

On the other hand, reflections can't be used here, because the sides of both triangles are not in opposite positions.

Therefore, the right answer is the third choice.
