Accepted Answer

When a square sheet is folded successively along the dotted lines as shown and then punched, the holes appear symmetrically in all the layers of the folded paper. Upon unfolding, the punched holes replicate in all the corresponding positions on the unfolded sheet. Option 2 correctly represents the unfolded sheet with holes symmetrically placed as per the folding and punching steps. The other options do not correctly show the symmetrical pattern of holes after unfolding.
