Answer:

The correct option is option 1

Explanation:

Generally If ΔONP is dilated from point N by a scale factor of
`(NL)/(NP)`

and if ΔONP and ΔMNL are similar by the AA similarity postulate

Then

`(NL)/(NP) = (ON)/(MN) = (OP)/(ML)`

Hence the additional transformation that could determine if ΔONP and ΔMNL are similar by the AA similarity postulate is to rotate ONP 180° about N and increasing with scale
`(NL)/(NP)`
