A square piece of paper is folded twice (first vertically from right to left, then horizontally from bottom to top) and then a triangular hole is punched near the center. How would this paper look when fully unfolded?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

When a paper is folded into quarters and a cut is made, unfolding it creates a symmetric mirror image across both the horizontal and vertical fold axes. This results in 4 symmetric triangular patterns positioned symmetrically about the center of the sheet, as correctly represented in option B.
