The sequence of folding a piece of paper and the manner in which the folded paper has been cut is shown below. Choose a figure which would most closely resemble the unfolded form of the paper.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When a paper is folded into quarters and cuts are made, unfolding it creates a symmetric pattern across both horizontal and vertical axes (mirror images).
Unfolding it vertically will duplicate the cut pattern symmetrically onto the top/bottom half.
Unfolding it horizontally will mirror the entire half-pattern onto the other side.
Evaluating the geometric positioning of the standard symmetric options confirms that the correct symmetrical layout matches Option B.
