Answer:

(B) reduction

Explanation:

A dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 is a reduction.

A dilation is a transformation that enlarges or reduces a figure by a certain scale factor. The scale factor is a number that tells you how much bigger or smaller the image will be compared to the original figure. A scale factor of 1/4 means that the image will be 1/4 the size of the original figure. This is a reduction, because the image is smaller than the original figure.
