Triangle DEF is shown on the coordinate grid. Triangle DEF is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation using the rule (x, y) → (2.5x, 2.5y) to create triangle D'E'F'.

Which of the following statements is true?
a
Triangle D'E'F' is smaller than triangle DEF, because the scale factor is less than 1.
b
Triangle D'E'F' is larger than triangle DEF, because the scale factor is less than 1.
c
Triangle D'E'F' is larger than triangle DEF, because the scale factor is greater than 1.
d
Triangle D'E'F' is smaller than triangle DEF, because the scale factor is greater than 1.

C. Triangle D'E'F' is larger than triangle DEF, because the scale factor is greater than 1.
