Answer:- D is the right answer . A rectangle is always mapped onto itself if it is rotated 180°.


Explanation:-

  • A shape has rotational symmetry if it maps onto itself under rotation at its center about a point .
  • The order of rotational symmetry is the total number of times the figure maps onto itself during a rotation of 360°.

A rectangle has an order of symmetry =2

Thus a rectangle is always mapped onto itself if it is rotated
(360^(\circ))/(2)=180^(\circ).
