Answer
(B) A translation 7 units to the right
Work Step by Step
The graph of $y = (x - 7)^2$ has the same shape as that of $y = x^2$, but it is translated 7 units right horizontally since for every point $(x, y)$ on the graph of $y = x^2$, there will be a corresponding point $(x + 7, y)$ on the graph of $y = (x - 7)^2$.
