answer will be B

phi · Answer

can't do A, so let's ignore that.

B. The perpendicular bisectors for each side are the only lones of reflection. 

draw a  perpendicular bisector|dw:1409834803133:dw|

thanks.

phi · Answer

C. The lines of reflection are parallel to the sides of the polygon.

looking at the figure with the bisector, that does not make sense.

phi · Answer

D. There are no lines of reflection. 

not true.
