Solution

The correct option is D
Option 'c' is the figure we get after the paper is unfolded.
The paper folding line is the line of symmetry and when the paper is unfolded, we get symmetrical figure. The colour drop will be symmetrical to the other in opposite direction.

When we fold the figure along the line of symmetry , if the figure is exactly divided into two identical halves, then the figure is said to be symmetrical.
