Figure L and figure M are shown on the grid below.

Maria wants to transform figure L to figure M using only rotations, reflections, and translations. Which statement is true?

• The transformation can be done with a reflection followed by a rotation.

• The transformation can be done with a reflection followed by a translation.

• The transformation cannot be done because figure L is not congruent to figure M.

• The transformations cannot be done because figures L and M are in different quadrants
