Answer:
A dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation
Step-by-step explanation:
Plot points A, B, C, D, A', B, C' and D' on the coordinate plane and draw quadrilaterals ABCD and A'B'C'D'.
These quadrilaterals are similar and quadrilateral a'B'C'D' has sides 4 times smaller than quadrilateral ABCD.
This means that the dilation with a scale factor of one-fourth was performed.
The figures were not rotated (they have the same positions), so the second transformation was translation.
Hence, correct option is B: a dilation with a scale factor of One-fourth and then a translation
