Answer:

d. C. 4; enlargement

Explanation:

Scale factor = Ratio of one of the side length of the scale diagram to the corresponding side length of the original diagram

Side length of scale diagram = 8 units

Corresponding side length of original diagram = 2 units

Thus:

Scale factor = 8/2 = 4

Scale factor = 4

Since it's an while number, it implies that it is an enlargement.
