Issouf claims that the scale factor is . Which statement about his claim is correct?

Question illustration
A
He is correct because CB is 4 and C’B’ is 2. The scale factor is .
Option A
B
He is correct because he needs to subtract 2 from each side. A reduction has a scale factor that is a fraction, so it must be .
Option B
C
He is incorrect because it is 3. CB is actually 2 + 4 or 6. So one needs to multiply the pre-image length by 3 to get the image; 3 is the scale factor.
D
He is incorrect because the scale factor is . CB is actually 2 + 4 = 6. CB is the pre-image, so the scale factor is .
Option D
