  • A(b)
  • B(c)
  • C(d)
  • D(a)

Step-by-Step Solution

The mirror swaps the columns and the water swaps the rows, so together every item goes to the diagonally opposite cell: the blue cell moves to the bottom-right, the yellow cell to the top-left, the dot to the bottom row, and the corner triangle and the arrow are turned through half a turn: (a). (b) and (c) stop after one reflection, and (d) has the arrow moved but not turned.
Answer: D) (a)
