Answer: A

Key insight
Flipping a paper to see its back side creates a mirror image along the vertical axis — left and right swap, but up and down stay the same. The clips on the back will appear mirrored horizontally.

Step by step
Step 1: The front shows three clips arranged as □ ∪ V (left to right) with dots on the right side.
Step 2: Flipping the paper horizontally (to see the back): the order reverses to V ∪ □ (left to right), and the dots move to the left side.
Step 3: The clip shapes themselves also mirror — the open side of each clip faces the opposite direction.
Step 4: Compare with options — Option A matches the correctly horizontally-mirrored version.
Therefore the answer is A.

Why wrong options are wrong
Option B: Mirrors only some elements but not others, or rotates instead of reflecting.
Option C: Shows a vertical flip rather than horizontal flip.
Option D: Incorrect position of the dots or clip orientations.

Remember for exam
"Back of the paper" = horizontal mirror image. The leftmost object on the front becomes the rightm

Three paper clips are attached to a paper as shown on the left. Which of the options shows the back side of the paper?
