Verified Answer :

octagon, because 360/8 = 45

Answer:

Hence, a regular polygon that has a minimum rotation of 45 degrees to carry the polygon onto itself is:

A. octagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the for a regular polygon with 'n' sides the minimum rotation that can carry the polygon onto itself is:

\(\dfrac{360\degree}{n}\)

Here we are given the minimum angle of  rotation such that polygon is transformed to itself as 45 degree.

i.e. we have:

\(\dfrac{360}{n}=45\\\ =\dfrac{360}{45}\\\ =8\)

Hence, the number of sides of a polygon are 8.

Hence, the polygon is:

A. octagon.

( Since a polygon with 8 sides is called a octagon)
