The correct answer is

To solve this question, we need to visualize the process of unfolding the paper and the reflection of the punched holes when the paper is opened back to its original form. Let's go through the steps:

  1. The given diagram shows how the paper is folded and where the punches are made. We start by identifying the fold lines as shown in the figure.
  2. The first fold is along the horizontal axis, and the second fold is along the vertical axis over half of the already folded paper.
  3. A circular cut is punched at the corner of the folded paper. This implies that when unfolded once, the punch will appear at two symmetrical positions, and when unfolded completely, it will appear four times at the symmetrical positions of the corners.
  4. Considering the symmetric nature of the folds and the punch at one corner, the punched pattern will replicate itself at all four corners when the paper is completely unfolded.

After unfolding, the paper will resemble the pattern shown in the correct option image, as punched holes will appear in all four corners of the square.

Below is the correct appearance of the unfolded paper:
