Solution
The correct option is C C First, let's join the corresponding vertices of the given two shapes by a line. Similarly, let’s join another pair of corresponding vertices.
Clearly, point C is the center of dilation of the shapes as the lines joining the pairs of corresponding vertices of polygons are passing through C.
Also, both the shapes have a common vertex at C. Thus, we can say 'C' is the center of dilation.
