Answer:

we know that

if a dilation produces a smaller figure

then

0< scale factor <1

so

case A) -2------> the scale factor must be a positive number

case B) 1/3----> 0< 1/3 <1---> is a possible scale factor

case C) 1------> this scale factor does not not produce a smaller figure, it produces the same figure

case D) 4----> this scale factor produces a larger figure

the answer is

1/3
