Figure , the small quadrilateral, was dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to create Figure , the large quadrilateral. Which rule best represents the dilation that was applied to Figure to create
Figure b?

Answer : option A

In a dilation with a scale factor of 3/4 the image is the preimage

In a similar figures, the ratio of the corresponding sides of the figure is called as scale factor. When scale factor is less than 1 then the image is smaller than the preimage. When scale factor is greater than 1 then the image is larger  than the preimage.

Here we are given with scale factor 3/4, that is less than 1

So the image is smaller than and along the same ray as the preimage
