Solution

The correct option is B
Paralleogram

P' is image after reflection of point P(5, 3) of point P (-5, -3)

$P M = \sqrt{(5 - 5)^{2} + (3 - 0)^{2}} = 3$

$P^{'} N = \sqrt{(- 5 - (- 5))^{2} + (- 3, - 0)^{2}} = 3$

$P N = \sqrt{{[5 - (- 5)]}^{2} + (3 - 0)^{2}} = \sqrt{100 + 9} = \sqrt{109}$

$P^{'} M = \sqrt{(- 5 - 5)^{2} + (- 3 - 0)^{2}} = \sqrt{100 + 9} = \sqrt{109}$

Opposite sides are equal and parallel - Hence it is a parallelogram.
