(a) You can flip a hexagon horizontally or vertically across a line, and you'll end up with the same hexagon.
(b) Assuming that point is in the middle, every 60° you'll have the same hexagon.
(c) Rotate it 30° from the center and the hexagon will appear rotated.
(d) 120° is a multiple of 60°.
The answer is C.

I believe 30 degrees rotational. If you rotate the hexagon by 30 degrees, you will have different symmetry. The 120 degrees rotation is a multiple of 60 degrees. Imagine the hexagon divided into 6 triangles of 60 degrees each. Tilting the hexagon by 60 degrees will just put it in the same orientation as before. Tilting by 120 degrees is simply doing that twice, but you get the same symmetry. Same goes for any multiple of 60 degrees.

c. The minimum symmetry it has is 60 degrees. I thought you said, "A regular hexagon which does not have symmetry..." and I was thinking, wtf? But now i can interpret correctly the question. So the answer is C. It also cannot be any other non-multiple of 60 degrees, e.g. 90 degrees.

the answer is C because if you rotate it 30 degrees, it will be at a different starting point.

c - it is only symmetrical at 60-degree intervals

i think c
btw - what is 'point' symmetry?
