The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown in the following figures. How would this paper look when unfolded?

When unfolding the paper:The first unfold will be symmetric along the vertical/diagonal line of the fold, creating mirrored shapes adjacent to the cut-out corner.The final unfold to the full square will reproduce these shapes symmetrically across all four quadrants.Matching the positions and orientations of the cutouts reveals that option A perfectly preserves the correct mirror symmetry.
