The correct answer is:


D) Rotated perpendicular lines always remain perpendicular lines.


Step-by-step explanation:


Perpendicular lines, by definition, meet at a 90° angle.


As long as both lines are rotated the same direction and the same angle, then the angle between the two lines will not change. They will continue to be perpendicular, no matter how many degrees or which direction they are rotated.
