  1. Center
  2. Origin
  3. X-axis
  4. Y-axis

hintHint:

Recall the dilation transformation.

The correct answer is: Center


    In a dilation, a figure is enlarged or reduced with respect to a fixed point called the center of dilation.

    This type of translation expands or contracts the object by keeping its orientation or shape the same. This is also known as resizing
