    c. It divides the radius by 2.

    Explanation

    The general equation of a circle is

    (x-h) ² + (y-k) ² = r²

    Where (h, k) makes the coordinates of the circle and r the radius.

    x² + y² = 25 For this equation,

    center (0, 0)

    Radius = √25 = 5

    4x² + 4y² = 25 First simplify this equation

    4x² + 4y² = 25 ⇒ x² + y² = 25/4

    center (0, 0)

    Radius = √ (25/4) = 5/2

    The radius has been divided by 2
