Hint 2 of 2
Find the fold line that maps the two visible holes onto each other.
Show solution
Approach: reverse the fold by reflection
  1. Unfolding mirrors each punched hole across every fold line, so before unfolding the holes must be symmetric about the fold.
  2. Among the choices, only one dotted line is an axis of symmetry for the two holes shown.
  3. That fold line is choice D.
