Polygon DEFG is shown on the coordinate grid. Polygon DEFG is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule (x, y) → (2x, 2y) to create polygon D'E'F'G'.

Which statement is true?

A) Polygon D'E'F'G' is larger than polygon DEFG, because the scale factor is greater than 1.

B) Polygon D'E'F'G' is smaller than polygon DEFG, because the scale factor is less than 1.

C) Polygon D'E'F'G' is smaller than polygon DEFG, because the scale factor is greater than 1.

D) Polygon D'E'F'G' is larger than polygon DEFG, because the scale factor is less than 1.
