Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Formula to get the scale factor of any image from it's preimage,

Scale factor of an image =
\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the preimage}}

From the figure attached,

F' is the image of preimage F after dilation.

Scale factor =
\frac{\text{Length of A'B'}}{\text{Length of AB}}

=
(4)/(6)

=
(2)/(3)

Therefore, Figure F has been dilated by a scale factor of
(2)/(3) to form F'.

Option (C). will be the answer.
