Explanation:

A translation is a transformation that slides a figure without changing its shape, size, or orientation. We need to check which of the options (A, B, C) has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original triangle, just moved (slid) to a different position.

• Option A: The triangle appears to be rotated (orientation changed), so it's not a translation.
• Option B: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) – this fits the definition of a translation.
• Option C: The triangle also seems to have a different orientation (possibly rotated or reflected), so it's not a translation.

Answer:

B. Option B
