c: translation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Figure 1 transforms to Figure 2.

Let's check all the options:-

a: Reflection  :- In reflection , the image produced is the mirror image of the pre-image. But Figure 2 is not the mirror image of figure 1.

b: Rotation : In rotation, the image had different orientation as compare to the pre-image.

But both the figure have same orientation.

c: Translation: In translation, the image moves certain distance in a particular direction. As we look to the figures, Figure 2 is created by moving some distance to the right and down.

Therefore,  

A translation of figure 1 results in Figure 2.
