AMirror symmetry
BScale symmetry
CHelical symmetry
DRotational symmetry
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Mirror symmetry
1. Reflection symmetry means a figure is unchanged when reflected, so it matches its own mirror image.
2. That is why it is also called line symmetry or mirror symmetry.
3. Scale, helical and rotational symmetry describe resizing, screw motion and turning, not mirroring.
