Answer:

The correct option is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, rectangle WXYZ has vertices W(-2,-3) , X(-2,1), Y(4,1) and Z(4,-3)

The rectangle is dilated by a scale factor of 3 with respect to the origin.

It means we multiply each coordinate by the scale factor of 3.

Therefore the new location of W, X, Y and Z are

W'(-6,-9), X'(-6,3), Y'(12,3) and Z'(12,-9)

Therefore the new location of X will be (-6,3).
