The correct answer is 1 third, which indicates a dilation that is one-third the size of the original segment AB.

How did you find the answer?

I found the answer by looking at the scale factor given in the responses provided and selecting the one that correctly reflects the dilation of line segment AB with a center point at the origin. In this case, 1 third is the scale factor that accurately represents the dilation.
