We can calculate the scale factor by comparing the lengths of corresponding sides in the two figures.
Scale factor = (length of corresponding side in figure KLMN) / (length of corresponding side in figure PQRS)
For this problem, we can compare the sides KN and PS.
Scale factor = KN / PS = 6 / 12 = 1/2
So, the scale factor of figure KLMN to figure PQRS is 1/2.
The correct answer is B.
