Detailed Solution

Concept: we need to know about symmetry, symmetry objects, and lines of symmetry. Symmetry: Symmetry means, for example, that moving one shape makes it exactly the same as another. Rotate or flip the object. Symmetrical object: If the object is the same on both sides, the object is symmetric. A shape is symmetric if you can draw a central parting line to show that both sides of the shape are exactly the same. Line of Symmetry: A line of symmetry is a fictitious line that passes through the center of a shape or object and divides it into identical parts. Also called a line of symmetry.
This is the English alphabet.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-O-P-Q-R-S-U-V-W-X-Y-Z
You can see that some of these alphabets have a single horizontal symmetry line. They are mentioned below:-
B , C, D, E, K
Therefore, there are only five English capital letters with one horizontal symmetry line.
Hence, , the correct answer is option 1) 5
