Hint 2 of 2
List the kinds of prints in each picture; the one type that appears on the left but not the right is missing.
Show solution
Approach: compare the two pictures and find the footprint type that is absent after the turn
- Rotating does not change which footprints exist, only where they sit.
- Match each print in the right picture to one in the left.
- One footprint from the left has no partner in the right picture.
- That missing footprint is the one shown in C.
