Rotation of triangle JKL by 180 degrees will result in a triangle with corresponding vertices of (2, 4), (3, 2) and (-1, 2).

Then translating the resulting triangle 2 units up will result in a triangle with corresponding vertices (4, -2), (2, -3) and (2, 1) which is the same triangle as the given triangle MNP.

Therefore, the statement that best explains whether △JKL is congruent to △MNP is △JKL is congruent to △MNP because △JKL can be mapped to △MNP by a rotation of 180° about the origin followed by a translation 2 units up.
