Answer:

  reflection across the angle bisector

Step-by-step explanation:

The arms holding the flags make an angle. If the bisector of that angle is used as a line of reflection, the left flag will be reflected to the position of the right flag.

A simple transformation to map the left flag to the right flag is ...

  reflection across the angle bisector

Additional comment

The left flag lies clockwise from the arm holding it. The right flag lies counterclockwise. To change that orientation, a transformation must be used that involves reflection. One way the transformation could be done is to reflect the left flag across the y-axis (vertical line through the center of the body), then rotate it CCW by an appropriate angle (45°, perhaps).

You could also rotate the flag 135° CCW and then reflect it across the horizontal line through the arm holding it.

The above reflection (across the angle bisector) accomplishes both rotation and reflection in one transformation.
