<reasoning>

Identify coordinates of the original triangle

Using the Geometric Transformations knowledge point
\[
A = (-1, 5),\quad B = (-1, 2),\quad C = (-5, 1)
\]

Analyze the transformation of triangle DEF

Using the Rigid Motion knowledge point
\[
D = (5, 5),\quad E = (5, 2),\quad F = (1, 1)
\]
Comparing these coordinates to \(A, B, C\):
\[
(x, y) \to (-x, y)
\]
This represents a reflection across the \(y\)-axis.

Analyze the transformation of triangle GHJ

Using the Rigid Motion knowledge point
\[
G = (-1, -5),\quad H = (-1, -2),\quad J = (-5, -1)
\]
Comparing these coordinates to \(A, B, C\):
\[
(x, y) \to (x, -y)
\]
This represents a reflection across the \(x\)-axis.

Analyze the transformation of triangle KMN

Using the Rigid Motion knowledge point
\[
K = (1, -5),\quad M = (1, -2),\quad N = (5, -1)
\]
Comparing these coordinates to \(A, B, C\):
\[
(x, y) \to (-x, -y)
\]
This represents a rotation of \(180^\circ\) about the origin, which is not a single reflection.

Determine the correct option

Using the Geometric Transformations knowledge point
\[
\Delta DEF \text{ and } \Delta GHJ \text{ are reflections of } \Delta ABC.
\]
This corresponds to option A.
