Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

In the figure attached,

ΔA'B'C' is a dilation image of ΔABC or both the triangle are similar.

Therefore, by the property of similarity of two similar triangles, corresponding sides these similar triangles will be proportional.

Scale factor =
\frac{\text{Side of image triangle}}{\text{Side of the pre-image}}

=
\frac{\text{B'A'}}{\text{B'A}}

=
\frac{\text{(B'A+AA')}}{\text{B'A}}

=
((6+12))/(6)

= 3

Therefore, scale factor is 3 when center of dilation is B.

Option (2) will be the answer.
