Explanation:

• Dilation: It is a transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure by a scale factor. The shape of the figure remains the same (similar figures), but the size changes.
• Rotation: This transformation turns a figure around a fixed point. It does not change the size or shape of the figure.
• Reflection: It flips a figure over a line. The size and shape of the figure remain unchanged.
• Translation: This slides a figure from one position to another. It also does not alter the size or shape of the figure.

Answer:

A. Dilation
