Answer
A
horizontal plane.
B
plane of symmetry.
C
reflectional axis.
D
axis of symmetry.

Explanation

A three-dimensional figure has rotational symmetry when it can be turned around a line and still match its original position. That line is called an axis of symmetry. A plane of symmetry instead divides a figure into matching mirror-image halves.
