Not exactly. Rotational symmetry means that a shape will look the same if the object is rotated around some axis, by ANY angle.There are no specific requirements as to where the axis must be.

No. Objects can have reflective symmetry but no rotational symmetry.
The quality a design has if it maintains all characteristics when rotated about an axis lying in its plane is called B) Rotational symmetry. This means that the design looks the same after a certain degree of rotation around that axis. Linear symmetry, on the other hand, involves reflection across a line, while translational symmetry refers to a design being invariant under translation.
No, that statement is not true. Reflectional symmetry refers to a design that is identical on both sides of a central line, meaning it can be folded along that line and the two halves will match. The quality of maintaining characteristics when rotated about a point describes rotational symmetry, not reflectional symmetry.
Yes, the quality you're describing is known as rotational symmetry. A design has rotational symmetry if it looks the same after being rotated about a central point in its plane by a certain angle. The degree of symmetry can vary, with some designs appearing unchanged at multiple angles, while others may only appear the same after specific rotations.

No. Objects can have reflective symmetry but no rotational symmetry.
False
Yes. An object with rotational symmetry is one that looks the same after a certain amount of rotation.
Reflectional symmetry
Not exactly. Rotational symmetry means that a shape will look the same if the object is rotated around some axis, by ANY angle.There are no specific requirements as to where the axis must be.
False
All characteristics
