Explanation:

To determine which image shows a rotation, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Labeled "Reflection" with the description "Flipping" a shape over a line, so this is a reflection, not a rotation.
• Option B: Labeled "Rotation" with the description "Spinning" a shape around a certain point, and the diagram shows a shape with a curved arrow around a point, indicating rotation.
• The "Translation" option (bottom - left) involves sliding a shape, not rotating.
• The "Clockwise" option (bottom - right) is a description of a rotation direction, not an image of a shape being rotated.

Answer:

B. Rotation ("Spinning" a shape around a certain point)
