Answer: E
In diagrams A, C and D, the letters ‘N’, ‘R’ and ‘G’ respectively have been reversed. In diagram B, the letters are not in the order they appear on the original umbrella. Hence only option E shows part of the original umbrella.
(This is immediately clear if you turn the question paper round so the handles are pointing up rather than down.)
