which image shows a rotation?

a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation definition

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point (center of rotation) by a certain angle. The shape's orientation changes, but size and shape remain.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The shape looks like a translation (slide) as orientation and position shift but no rotation - same orientation as original.
• Option B: The shape seems like a reflection or translation, not a rotation (orientation doesn't match rotation).
• Option C: The shape's orientation has changed (like a 90 - degree or other rotation), matching the rotation transformation.

Answer:

C
