C if you put a midpoint on both the top and the bottom bases and draw a vertical line across it and reflect the figure across that line, that would carry the figure onto itself.
Imagine if you were to put a mirror vertically on the center of that isosceles trapezoid, you would see the other half of the trapezoid in the mirror, thus creating a whole trapezoid.
