What do you think?

In order for it to be a REFLECTION it has to look like a mirror of the previous shape. Does it look like a mirror ?

Translating, is just a shift of a figure couple units    up, down   or   left, right

Rotation, is when you rotate the figure clockwise, unless it says that you are rotating anti-clockwise. (in this case doesn't matter if it goes clock or anti clockwise)

and traversal is not even moving the entire shape. I am not sure what it is, but it is for sure not this...
