The given front and top views both show the same outline: three equal vertical strips, side by side, with no gaps, notches, or splits anywhere in the outline. Any object matching both views must keep this exact three-strip envelope when looked at from the front and from directly above. Let's check the four candidate objects against this rule.
- Option A: This object has a diagonal fold across its face, but its lower right region is cut away by a small triangular notch that opens a gap between the main body and a separate flap. That notch would show up as a break in the top view's outline, which the given top view does not have.
- Option B: This object has the same diagonal fold as A, but the flap stays flush against the block all the way down, with no gap or notch cut into the base. Its outline, from the front and from above, stays a clean, unbroken envelope that matches the plain three-strip views shown.
- Option C: This object has a deep vertical slit running down its middle, effectively splitting it into two separate towers. Viewed from above, this split would appear as a visible gap between two pieces, which does not match the single unbroken three-strip top view at all.
- Option D: This object looks similar to A, with a small triangular piece cut away near its base, which again breaks the plain outline the top view is supposed to show.
Only option B keeps the block's outline whole and unbroken in both the front and the top projection, exactly matching the plain three equal strips shown in the given views.
So the correct object is Option B.
