exactly also works. Any cutout that is a superset of the solid's projection will allow passage.

Step by step
Step 1: From the two views, determine the 3D shape of the solid — it is an L-shaped/stepped block.
Step 2: Find the silhouette (projection) of the solid when pushed through a flat plane in the relevant direction.
Step 3: Option A — the cutout shape contains the solid's projection. ✓
Step 4: Option B — the cutout is too narrow or mismatched; the solid would catch on an edge. ✗
Step 5: Option C — the cutout accommodates the solid's profile. ✓
Step 6: Option D — the cutout is a rotated/enlarged version that still fits the solid. ✓
Therefore the answer is A, C, and D.

Why wrong options are wrong
Option B: The cutout shape does not fully contain the solid's cross-sectional silhouette in the direction of travel.

Remember for exam
The solid passes if and only if every part of its cross-section at the plane of the cutout fits within the cutout boundary — even a small protrusion causes it to fail.
