Which statement is true?

A) Hexagon P'Q'R'S'T'U' is smaller than hexagon PQRSTU because the scale factor is a fraction.

B) Hexagon P'Q'R'S'T'U' is smaller than hexagon PQRSTU because the scale factor is greater than one.

C) Hexagon P'Q'R'S'T'U' is larger than hexagon PQRSTU because the scale factor is greater than one.

D) Hexagon P'Q'R'S'T'U' is larger than hexagon PQRSTU because the scale factor is less than one.
