From the problem description and the provided image, you are tasked with making a tiling using translations and a single reflection of the given triangle.

Analysis:

• Translation: Moving the triangle without rotating or flipping it.
• Reflection: Flipping the triangle over a line of symmetry.

The correct tiling would require:

1. Repeated translations (side-by-side or stacked alignment).
2. One reflection so that mirrored triangles align seamlessly.

Correct Answer:

The correct option is D. This pattern shows both translations and a single reflection. Reflected triangles appear in alternating rows, and translations ensure the tiling fills the space without gaps.

Let me know if you'd like further clarification or details about tiling patterns.
