Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) Projection A
Explanation
Looking along Y collapses depth to give two large squares along the bottom and one above the right square.
The smaller cube projects onto the lower-right corner of that upper square, giving the internal small-square outline shown in **A**.
Its position rules out the other projections.
