To find the location of point \( A' \) after dilation, we need to apply the scale factor of 4 to point A, using point A as the center of dilation.

Given:
- Point A (the center of dilation): \( (2, 4) \)
- Scale factor: 4

Since \( A \) is the center of dilation, the point \( A' \) will remain the same as point \( A \) because the dilation of a point at the center of dilation does not change its position.

Therefore, point \( A' \) is located at:
\[
A' = (2, 4)
\]

The correct response is \( (2, 4) \).
