If ΔMNL is rotated 180° about point N, which additional transformation could determine if ΔONP and ΔMNL are similar by the AA similarity postulate?

Segments OM and LP intersect at point N; triangles are formed by points LNM and ONP; line k intersects with both triangles at point N.

Reflect ONP over line k.
Reflect M'N'L' over line k.
Dilate ONP from point N by a scale factor of segment NP over segment NL.
Dilate M'N'L' from point N by a scale factor of segment NP over segment NL

Answer:

  Dilate M'N'L' from point N by a scale factor of segment NP over segment NL

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the length of N'L' by the factor NP/NL will give it the length of NP, making the dilated version of ΔM'N'L' congruent to ΔONP. This is apparently your goal.

Reflection over line k doesn't seem to do anything useful, and the other offered dilation is by the wrong factor. You want to ...

dilate M'N'L' from point N by a scale factor of segment NP over segment NL.

The answer is D because  you need to make it smaller by dilation. This leaves the last two options. D makes the most sense.
