A piece of paper is folded and punched as shown below in the question figures. From the given answer figures, indicate how it will appear when opened.

Let's trace the unfolding process step by step:
The paper is folded in half, and then into quadrants (one-fourth slice).

Two holes are punched near the circular curved edge of this quadrant slice.

Unfolding it once to a semicircle will mirror these 2 holes across the fold axis, producing 4 holes.

Unfolding completely back into a full circle will mirror all 4 holes to the opposite side, resulting in a symmetrical ring layout of 8 holes evenly spaced along the outer perimeter.

This pattern perfectly matches option figure A.
