    See attachment.

    Let me see.

    I see the following symmetries:

    (-1, 0), (1, 0) or x = -1, x = 1

    (0, 1), (0, -1) or y = 1, y = -1

    Correct?

    (-1, 0), (1, 0) are endpoints of one line segment which is a diameter of the circle
    (0, 1), (0, -1) are endpoints of other line segment which is a diameter of the circle
    answer should be: A circle is symmetric about its diameter.
    note:
    A circle has rotational symmetry. If any object has at least one line of symmetry, then it is said to be symmetrical. A circle is symmetric about its diameter.

    So the answer is not so simple.
