Answer:

Quadrant I

Explanation:

Reflection is a type of solid transformation in which an object or a point is flipped with respect to a reference point or plane to produce its image. It changes the orientation of an object, but not its shape and size.

Reflecting the point X across x-axis produces an image in quadrant II. Now, reflecting it across the y-axis would fix its image now in quadrant I.

Therefore, reflecting point X across the x-axis and then y-axis would produce its image in quadrant I.
