- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's trace the unfolding process step-by-step:
1. The paper is folded in half from left to right, and then from top to bottom, keeping the final layer in the bottom-right quadrant.
2. A triangular cut at the top-left corner of this folded quadrant corresponds to the exact center of the original square paper. When unfolded in all directions, it forms a central diamond/rhombus shape.
3. Triangular cuts on the outer corner and edges unfold symmetrically to form diamond-shaped notches along the four outer margins of the paper.
This matches the configuration shown in option B.
