Answer:

B) 2

Explanation:

Given that a rectangle is not a square.

Hence we find that opposite sides are equal.

If we mark midpoints on all sides then the vertical line joining mid points and horizontal lines joining next pair of midpoint of opposite sides are the lines of symmetry

There can be no other line of symmetry

Hence no of lines of symmetry for a rectangle = 2
