B. reflectional symmetry with 6 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry for angles 120° and 240°
C. reflectional symmetry with 3 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry for angles 120° and 240°
D. reflectional symmetry with 3 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry for angles 60°. 120° 180° 240° and 300°

Answer 1

The regular hexagon has reflectional symmetry with 6 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry for angles 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, and 300°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular hexagon has several symmetries. It has reflectional symmetry with 6 lines of symmetry.

These lines are the lines that divide the hexagon into two congruent halves.

It also has rotational symmetry. It can be rotated by angles of 60°, 120°, 180°, 240°, and 300° and still look the same.

So, the correct answer is option A.
