Detailed Solution

A rotational symmetry angle is the angle to rotate so as to become the original image.
We know that the rotational symmetry angle = 360n where n is the number of vertices.
For a regular hexagon, the number of vertices is 6.
The rotational symmetry angle = 3606 = 60°.
Hence, the figure must be rotated by 60°.
So, option 1 is correct.
