Hint 2 of 2
Flip the front picture horizontally: the grey and white rings swap sides but the overlap stays the same.
Show solution
Approach: mirror the front view left-to-right
  1. Looking from the back flips the picture left-to-right, like a mirror.
  2. In the front view the grey ring is on one side and overlaps the white ring; mirroring swaps which side each ring is on.
  3. The choice that matches this left-right flip of the front picture is D.
