Question:

Identify which net can be folded to make the shown 3D object. 

Show Hint

For prism-like nets, look for a continuous strip of side faces; end caps must attach to opposite edges of that strip so they meet cleanly when wrapped.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Read the target solid.
It consists of a belt of equal squares wrapped around the middle with two identical pentagonal end caps tilted relative to each other. The belt needs a continuous chain of squares whose opposite faces meet when wrapped.
Step 2: Check adjacency/order in each net.
Only net (B) has a single straight chain of squares with the two pentagons attached at the correctly spaced positions on opposite sides of the chain, so that each pentagon meets the belt after wrapping and the central glue tab lands on a square face, not on an edge.
In (A), (C), and (D) the pentagons are attached so that, on wrapping, either one cap collides with the tab or the caps end up adjacent on the same side, which cannot close the solid.
Therefore the foldable net is (B).
