Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Folding the net pairs opposite faces as follows: the central striped face and the half-shaded face; the triangular face and the lower striped face; the L-shaped face and the quarter-shaded face.
In (i), the displayed front and right faces require the lower striped face on top, with its stripe running front to back. The drawing instead shows a stripe running left to right.
In (ii), the triangular front, quarter-shaded right face and half-shaded top meet with the shading orientations shown.
Therefore, only (ii) corresponds to the net.
