The correct answer to this question is letter " d. 1/2."

Triangle J'K'L' shown on the grid below is a dilation of Triangle JKL using the origin as the center of dilation. The scale factor that was used to createTriangle J'K'L is 1/2.

JK is occupying 4 grids

J'K' is occupying only 2 grids

so scale factor = 2/4 = 1/2
