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.

Tracing the unfolds backward:Unfolding the final fold will duplicate the punch symmetrically over the fold line.Unfolding the complete paper fully will replicate this pattern across all quadrants, creating a symmetric arrangement of holes.Following the symmetry, figure A represents the correct unfolded pattern.
