= Solution

Let $\widehat B_t=rB_{t/r^2}$. By <Brownian scaling>, $\widehat B$ is standard Brownian motion. Substituting $Y_t=rX_{t/r^2}$ into the Bessel equation gives
$$
dY_t
=d\widehat B_t+\frac{d-1}{2Y_t}dt,
\qquad
Y_0=rx.
$$
Weak uniqueness for the Bessel equation shows that $Y$ is a Bessel process of dimension $d$ started at $rx$. This is the <Scaling invariance of a Bessel process>.
