Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

From the figure it is noticed that the coordinates of option point  R is (1,-3).

The statement,

[tex]d_{\frac{3}{4}(PQR)=P'Q'R'[/tex]

Means dilation of triangle PQR with scale factor [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] and center at origin, then the image is P'Q'R'.

If the dilation with factor k and center at origin, then

[tex](x,y)\rightarrow(kx,ky)[/tex]

Since the coordinates of R is (1,-3) and the scale factor is  [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

[tex]R(x,y)\rightarrow R'(\frac{3}{4}x,\frac{3}{4}y )[/tex]

[tex]R(1,-3)\rightarrow R'(\frac{3}{4}\times1, \frac{3}{4}\times(-3))[/tex]

[tex]R(1,-3)\rightarrow R'(\frac{3}{4}, \frac{-9}{4})[/tex]

Therefore the correct option is B.
