Although I've never seen a real definition of "rigid motion," I would consider a "rigid motion" transformation to be one that does not alter the composition, shape, proportion, or size of the object. Therefore, only reflections and translations and the such would be considered a "rigid motion." The picture, which is of two circles of varying sizes, depicts a stretching/shrinking, and so would not be a rigid motion. Again, I'm not 100% sure of this, but the reasoning is pretty logical.
