ANSWER

D. 3

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the scale factor applied from figure A to figure B.

To do that, we have to divide any of the side lengths of figure B by a corresponding side length of figure A.

Let us divide the side length of the left sides of both figures.

Therefore, the scale factor is:


\begin{gathered} SF=(18)/(6) \\ SF=3 \end{gathered}

That is the scale factor.
