A square can be folded in four different ways so that its edges match. How many axes of symmetry does it have?

ATwo
BThree
CFour
DEight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Four
1. Each fold that makes the edges match is one axis of symmetry. 2. A square folds along two midlines and two diagonals, giving four folds. 3. Two is the count for a non-square rectangle, and eight counts all symmetry motions including turns. _Source: Wikipedia, Reflection symmetry, section Symmetric function_
