The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The mirror line x-y is vertical and lies to the right of the figure, so left and right are interchanged and top and bottom stay the same.
In the figure the round ball is at the top-left with a stick running down to the right towards a spool-like block with a black and white hourglass pattern; a small square with a black triangle lies at the top-right corner; a long flange bar lies on the lower-left side of the block and a shorter one on its lower-right side.
In the image the ball goes to the top-right and the stick runs down to the left; the small square with the black triangle moves to the top-left corner; the flange bars and the hourglass pattern are flipped as well.
Options (1) and (2) keep the ball on the left, so they are rejected. Option (3) has the ball on the right, but the bars and pattern are not placed as in a true flip. Option (4) is the exact left-right reversal.
Answer: (4) the flipped figure with the ball at top-right and the black-triangle square at top-left
