AI Explanation

The correct answer is A. The figure labeled A in the illustration GS-0142 depicts an orthographic projection, which is a method of representing a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface by showing the object as it would appear from a specific viewing angle. Orthographic projections are commonly used in technical drawings and engineering diagrams to provide accurate dimensional information about an object. The other figures (B, C, and D) appear to represent different types of projections or views, such as isometric or perspective projections, which are not considered orthographic projections.
