Which sequence correctly describes folding a triangular bandage into a narrow bandage?

Explanation:
The idea is to turn a triangular bandage into a long, narrow wrap by folding along its center toward the base. Start by folding the tip of the triangle toward the base to align the edges and create a longer, thinner strip. Then fold that strip in half again, which makes a broader bandage piece that's easier to handle as you prepare to wrap. Finally fold once more in half to produce a narrow bandage ready for wrapping around a limb or securing a dressing. This sequence intentionally builds the narrow width needed, whereas the other options either don’t create the long narrow strip or skip the progressive folds.
