Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Option A in the figure

Explanation

Trace the full stepped boundary of the supplied piece, including its narrow notches. Rotate the candidate boundary to face it and match protrusions to recesses in order. A supplies the complementary sequence and widths along the entire join, leaving a rectangular outside boundary. The other choices mismatch at least one step or notch.
