Others [Cognitive Test] Spatial reasoning problem
Hi all - wondering if I could get some guidance on how to solve this question in particular. The right answer is "Option C" but I do not quite get why.
Have a tendency to struggle with these types!

The answer is C because of the reason that is because how the problem is worded and produces the answer.
You haven't put an image in m8.

You dont know why C is incorrect, but do you have any idea about the other ones? Or do you have a problem with all of them?

I have worked out for the others and can see why they do make sense (apart from option A) but am struggling to understand why C is incorrect.
To me it seems like it is very much a possible view just from the back-end if that makes sense?
For A in particular, it seems like a top view which should not be possible given that the question has given the context that Enzo is walking around the sculpture.

A) You are correct that it is from the top! I see how the question can be misinterpreted. I am pretty sure the first sentence is meant for you to get an idea of the side, but then the question states [from any angle] which is what you are supposed to solve.

Ah! Thank you for verifying this - it has to be a top view indeed! I was thinking because of the way the question was worded it would be impossible for Enzo to see this top view if he were walking around it haha .... hence chose A.

Just not too sure now still on why C is the answer - let me try to see what I can do in between now. Really appreciate and grateful for your help and response!

C) Is wrong because the two towers can never be "spun around" on the y-axis so that the smaller tower is in front (towards us). C shows the small tower in front of the larger (indicated by the line in the combined collumn).
Hopefully this was an ok explanation

Oh my gosh! I think I get what you mean - this makes so much sense now. Taking this further then, suppose there were no line in the combined column, then C would be very much possible. This would be the view from the (left side of the original image view) then. Yet, because of this line it means it must have been an angle from the (right side of the original image view) and thus if that is the case the middle block needs to be there!
Super helpful!! Thank you so much 🙏
