options: a (reflection image), b (rotation image), c (translation image), d (clockwise image)

Explanation:

To determine which image shows a translation, we recall that a translation is the "sliding" of a shape in any direction without rotation or reflection.

• Option A shows a reflection (flipping over a line).
• Option B shows a rotation (spinning around a point).
• Option C shows a shape being slid (translated) from one position to another, matching the definition of translation.
• Option D describes clockwise rotation, not translation.

Answer:

C. Translation ("Sliding" a shape in any direction)
