Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Figure (B)

Explanation

Reflection about a horizontal axis maps $(x,y)$ to $(x,-y)$. The left-to-right order of the letters therefore stays the same, while each letter is inverted vertically. Applying this to P, H, Y, L, A, X, I and S gives the image in option B.
