Explanation:

Translation, rotation, and reflection are rigid transformations. By definition, rigid transformations do not change the size, shape, or dimensions of the original figure; they only reposition or reorient it in the plane. Options a, c, and d describe non-rigid transformations or incorrect outcomes, while option b matches the core property of these transformations.

Answer:

b. To move or rotate the shape while preserving its size and shape
