A) Lena reflected the pre-image across the y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
As all the coordinates of the pre-image have negative x coordinates and positive y coordinates, the pre-image is on the second quadrant.
If we reflect an image across an axis, the coordinate values remain the same but the symbols vary according to the quadrant to which they are reflected.
If the pre-image was reflected across the x-axis, it would be in the third quadrant where both x and y coordinates have negative symbols.
Step 2:
The coordinates of the shape ABCD are A (2, 8), B (5, 6), C(8, 8), D (4, 2). All the coordinates have positive x and y coordinate values.
Only the first quadrant has such coordinates.
So Lena reflected the pre-image across the y-axis instead of the x-axis.
