Given that the octagon rotates 360 degrees, it is a given that for every regular division of the polygon (360/8 = 45 degrees), the image would coincide with the pre-image during the rotation. Therefore, the octagon would coincide a total of 8 times as it rotates 360 degrees about its center. 

Answer:

Option D. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular ABCDEFGH rotates 360° clockwise about its center.

It means if A coincides H, if A moves [tex]\frac{360}{8}=[/tex] 45° clockwise.

Now we can say that A will coincide the point F if A rotates 3 times by 45° clockwise.

In other words, if A rotates (3×45° = 135°) clockwise, point A will coincide point F.

Therefore, Option D. 3 will be the answer.
