Answer:

D) 112°

Explanation:

Reflection is the process in which a given figure is flipped over a given line or point to produce its image. Thus changing the orientation of the initial figure. Rotation involves the turning of a figure with respect to an origin.

The given question involves composition of two reflections on intersecting lines l and m. When a given point or figure is reflected on two intersecting lines, the process is the same as a clockwise rotation of the point or figure twice the intersecting angle.

The reflection of the given point along l and then m will cause a 112° rotation.
