Hint 2 of 2

Show solution
Approach: fold the cover and look through the holes
  1. Folding the cover onto the page flips it like a mirror.
  2. The two holes then sit over two groups of vehicles, but in reversed left-right order.
  3. Matching the windows to the line of vehicles gives the set in option D.
