Hint 2 of 2
Read the black/white sequence around each option's ring and match it to the straight caterpillar.
Show solution
Approach: match the colour sequence around the ring
- The straight caterpillar has a fixed black-white pattern of its six segments.
- Rolling it up keeps the same cyclic order of colours.
- Only option A shows that exact cyclic colour pattern, so the answer is A.
