1. **Stating the problem:** We need to find which regular shape among Circle, Kite, Parallelogram, and Rhombus has the least number of orders of symmetry. 2. **Understanding symmetry:** The order of symmetry of a shape is the number of times it maps onto itself during a full 360° rotation. 3. **Analyzing each shape:** - Circle: Infinite order of symmetry because it looks the same after any rotation. - Kite: Usually has 1 line of symmetry and no rotational symmetry other than 360° (order 1). - Parallelogram: Has rotational symmetry of order 2 (180° rotation) but no line symmetry unless it is a special type. - Rhombus: Has 2 lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 2. 4. **Conclusion:** The kite has the least order of symmetry (1). **Final answer:** B. Kite
