Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

First it is important to remember the definition of Dilation.

A Dilation is defined as a transformation in which the Image (The figure obtained after the transformation) and the Pre-Image (The original figure, before the transformation) have the same shape, but their sizes are different.

In this case you know that the triangle ABC is dilated by a scale factor of 2 with a center of dilation at the origin.

According to the exercise, the point C has these coordinates:

Therefore, in order to find the coordinates of C', you need to multiiply the coordinates of the point C by the scale factor 2.

Then, you get that the coordinates of the point C' are:
