Two views of a 3D object are shown on the left. Which of the option(s) is/are the \textbf{same object?}
Show Hint
For 3D object matching:
\begin{itemize}
\item Rotations preserve structure; reflections do not,
\item Track unique bends or offsets as anchors,
\item Compare one arm at a time systematically.
\end{itemize}
Step 1: Carefully study the two given views of the original object. Note the relative positions, lengths, and orientations of all protruding arms.
\bigskip
Step 2: Identify invariant features that do not change under rotation:
\begin{itemize}
\item Number of arms,
\item Relative angles between arms,
\item Distinctive bends or offsets.
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
Step 3: Compare each option with the given object by attempting mental rotation (without reflection).
\bigskip
Step 4:
\begin{itemize}
\item Options A, B, C: Each fails to match at least one arm orientation or relative bend when rotated — not the same object.
\item Option D: Matches all arm positions and bends exactly after a suitable rotation — correct.
\end{itemize}

Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{D}
