Solution

The correct option is A accordion
In China, printing was done by rubbing ink on the paper that is placed over engraved woodblocks. The ink bleeds through pages and makes it impossible to write on both sides. So they printed on long sheets of paper, folded the pages outward. These are called accordion books because the pages resemble accordion bellows. The pages were folded and stitched at the side and made into the first books.
