The question asks which hexagon has the most lines of symmetry. Among the options provided, the correct answer is the regular hexagon at the bottom (the one you selected). 

A regular hexagon has **6 lines of symmetry**: three that connect opposite vertices and three that bisect opposite sides. This maximizes its symmetry compared to the other irregular hexagonal shapes.

Would you like further explanation or have any questions?

Here are some related questions to expand the topic:

1. What are rotational symmetries, and how does a regular hexagon display them?
2. How does the concept of symmetry apply in other polygonal shapes?
3. Can you explain the difference between reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry in polygons?
4. What are the properties of regular polygons, and why do they have more symmetry?
5. How many lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?

**Tip:** Regular polygons have the same number of lines of symmetry as they have sides.

A designer is creating a floor pattern with hexagonal-shaped tiles. She wants to use a hexagon with the most lines of symmetry. Which hexagon should the designer choose?

This problem helps students understand the symmetry in geometric shapes, focusing on regular and irregular hexagons. The solution explains why a regular hexagon has the most lines of symmetry, suitable for Grades 6-8.
