Answer:

Still a segment

Explanation:

When a segment is dilated by a scale factor of r = 1, then the segment and its image would be the same length. When the points P and Q are on a line containing the center, then the dilated points P' and Q' will also be col linear with the center producing an image of the segment that is a segment.
