Answer:

M

Explanation:

AB was dilated by scale factor of 2 to create A'B'.

Connect points A and A' with a straight line, connect points B and B' with a straight line. The point where these two straight lines will intersect is the center of dilation.

As you can see, these lines intersect at point M, so, point M is the center of dilation.
