The smallest number of chickens that can walk in the given formation is 3.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the chickens are walking in a line,

Chicken 1--Chicken 2--Chicken 3

Given,

Situation 1: 2 chickens in front of 1 chicken  

That is 2 in front of 1 = 2+1=3 chicken

Situation 2: 2 chickens behind 1 chicken

That is 2 behind 1 = 2+1=3 chicken

Situation 3: 1 chicken between 2 chicken

1+1+1=3 chicken

From the 3 situations, we can conclude that the minimum number of chickens can possibly be 3.

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
