Answer:

C. Each side in the pre-image is multiplied by three to find the corresponding side length in the image.

Explanation:

The scale factor multiplies every linear dimension in the pre-image. It is the ratio of image dimensions to pre-image dimensions.

So, for a scale factor of 3, each side in the pre-image is multiplied by 3.
