Translation is a rigid - motion that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. The shape and orientation remain the same.

Step2: Analyze Option A

It has a different orientation compared to the original shape, so it is not a translation.

Step3: Analyze Option B

It has a different orientation compared to the original shape, so it is not a translation.

Step4: Analyze Option C

The shape in Option C has the same shape, size and orientation as the original shape, just in a different position. It is a translation.
