Answer:

B.B′

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dilation, the coordinates of each point are multiplied by the scale factor.

For a point to have an image at (24, 12) with a scale factor of 6, we would have begun at

(24/6, 12/6) = (4, 2)

These are the coordinates of B, so the image point would be B'.
