Explanation:

Brief Explanations

A translation is a rigid - motion that slides every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. It takes a line to a parallel line or to itself. It does not take a line to a perpendicular line. It is defined by a vector and does not require a center or a line of translation in the way rotation requires a center or reflection requires a line.

Answer:

A. A translation takes a line to a parallel line or to itself
