The correct answer is

This is an image-based paper-folding and punching question, so the reasoning is described by method rather than by reproducing the actual figures.

The sheet is folded, and each fold line acts as a mirror line, so any punch made through the folded layers reappears as a reflected copy on the far side of every crease when the paper is opened.

Unfolding is done one crease at a time, and at each step the existing holes are duplicated as mirror images across that crease, so the number of holes doubles per fold.

The fully opened sheet must therefore show the punched holes placed symmetrically about all the fold lines used.

Comparing the four option figures, only one shows a hole pattern consistent with this complete symmetric reflection.

The correct answer is the [Figure 4].
