A semicircle, a hexagon, and a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A semicircle would need to remain a semicircle so the answer would have to include that, which eliminates the first and last options. Then, you would need to figure out what makes up a hexagon, and it can either be made up of 6 triangles or two trapeziods, or keep the hexagon, but not a pentagon, therefore eliminating the second option, and therefore you can decompose the figure in to a semicircle, a hexagon and a rectangle.
