Answer:

B. ΔDEF ≅ ΔSRU

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection changes corresponding vertices from CCW order to CW order. Vertex D gets reflected to (-6, 4), then translated to (-3, 0). After this transformation, its image is vertex S. The vertices in CW order from S are SRU. Hence, ΔDEF ≅ ΔSRU, matching choice B.
