Accepted Answer

When a square sheet is folded successively along the dotted lines, the final punched hole will appear symmetrically in all the unfolded layers. By mentally unfolding the paper step-by-step, the punched hole's position replicates across the folds. Option 3 correctly shows the symmetrical pattern of holes after unfolding, while the other options do not match the expected pattern.
