Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Filled circle; hollow triangle; blank.

Explanation

Folding the net makes the hollow and filled triangles opposite, the solid and hollow circles opposite, and the two blank faces opposite. Adjacent visible faces cannot contain an opposite pair. Only **A** respects these pairings; B/D put opposite triangles together and C puts both blank faces together.
