Final answer:

Without the original coordinates of point D, we cannot determine the new coordinates after a dilation with a factor of 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new coordinates of point D after a dilation by a factor of 0.5 with center (0, 0), you take the original coordinates of point D and multiply each coordinate by the scale factor of 0.5. This transformation scales down the size of the original figure by a factor of 0.5, meaning every distance from the center of dilation to a point on the figure is halved. If the original coordinates are not given in the question, we cannot determine the new coordinates without this information.

Unfortunately, the question does not include the original coordinates of point D, so we cannot provide an accurate answer to which of the choices A, B, C, or D is correct. To proceed, we need the original coordinates of point D to apply the scale factor.
