Let $O$ be the center of the octagon, which is the midpoint of diagonal $AE$

$\triangle AOB$ is one of the eight triangles from the center, so it has area $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Let $O$ be the center of the octagon. Joining $O$ to the vertices splits the octagon into $8$ congruent triangles, so $\triangle AOB$ has area $\dfrac{1}{8}.$

Since $O$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AE},$ triangles $AOB$ and $BOE$ have equal areas, so $\triangle ABE$ has area $\dfrac{1}{4}.$

The rectangle $ABEF$ is split by diagonal $\overline{BE}$ into two congruent triangles, so $\triangle ABE$ is half of it. Hence $ABEF$ has area $\dfrac{1}{2}.$

Thus, the correct answer is D.
