Which of these triangle pairs can be mapped to each other using a single translation?

A
Image with description Triangles C E D and M P N are congruent. Triangle C E D is shifted to the right to form triangle M P N.
B
Image with description Triangles C E D and M P D are congruent. Triangle M P D is rotated and shifted up to form triangle C E D.
C
Image with description Triangles C N E and C D E are congruent. Triangle C N E is reflected across a line and then rotated slightly to form triangle C D E.
D
Image with description Triangles C E D and C N P are congruent. Triangle C E D is rotated about point C and then reflected across a line to form triangle C N P.
