The line of symmetry can be defined as the axis or imaginary line that passes through the center of the shape or object and divides it into identical halves.
Calculation:
Given:
A regular hexagon is a six-sided enclosed figure in which each side is equal.
The first line of symmetry for the hexagon can be shown in the figure below:
We can see that hexagons on either side of the line of symmetry are identical halves.
The second line of symmetry can be shown along with the first in the figure shown below:
Similarly, a maximum of six lines of symmetry can be made for a regular hexagon, as shown in the figure below:
Hence the correct answer is option 4.
