Answer 2

b. No; it is a reflection followed by a translation.

Explanation:

If we look at the given three figures, we can see that the second image is the reflection or mirror image of the first figure.

After reflection, it is translated, means moved apart from the first figure.

So, the third figure is a reflection of first figure, and then it is translated.

Therefore, option b. No; it is a reflection followed by a translation. - is correct.
