The correct description of the dilation is

D) center F and scale factor 1/3

How to find the description

The scale factor is a ratio used to compare corresponding lengths between two similar figures.

In the given example, the scale factor is determined by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides.

F'E' is 7 units and FE is (14 + 7) units = 21 units

scale factor = 7 / 21 = 1/3 units

Since point F' = F. this is the center of dilation
