The cyclic subgroup is just rotations (no reflections).

The alternating subgroup is the set of "even" permutations. Basically, any permutation can be achieved by switching pairs of elements; if the number of pairs you switch is even, that permutation is in the alternating group. I have no clue how one would visualize this like the others in this setting.
