Solution
The correct option is A 1
A kite is a quadrilateral with two different pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length.
A line of symmetry for any polygon can be found by reflecting the polygon over a line so that the polygon or figure is divided into two halves that are mirror-images.
⇒ In a kite, this line of symmetry is along its centre. as shown below.
Therefore, the kite has only one line of symmetry.
