Burhan arranged eight wooden sticks in the shape of a fish as shown in the image. What is the minimum number of sticks that must be moved to make the fish face the opposite direction?

2 moves

3 moves

5 moves

4 moves

To determine the minimum number of sticks that must be moved to make the fish face the opposite direction, we need to analyze the given image and consider how each stick contributes to the orientation of the fish.

Looking at the fish shape, we can identify the following sticks:

1. The main body of the fish consists of three sticks: one horizontal stick for the back, and two diagonal sticks for the sides.
2. The tail of the fish consists of two sticks: one vertical stick for the upper part of the tail, and one diagonal stick for the lower part of the tail.
3. The mouth of the fish consists of two sticks: one small diagonal stick for the upper jaw, and one small diagonal stick for the lower jaw.

To make the fish face the opposite direction, we would need to move certain sticks to change their orientation. Let's consider each option one by one:

Option 1: 2 moves
If we were to make just two moves, it would not be enough to change the orientation of the fish. At least one stick from the main body and one stick from the tail would need to be moved. Therefore, this option is not correct.

Option 2: 3 moves
If we were to make three moves, it would be possible to change the orientation of the fish. We could move one stick from the main body and two sticks from the tail to reverse the direction. Therefore, this option is a possible correct answer.

Option 3: 5 moves
If we were to make five moves, it would be more than enough to change the orientation of the fish. It is possible to achieve the desired result with fewer moves, so this option is an incorrect answer.

Option 4: 4 moves
If we were to make four moves, it would be possible to change the orientation of the fish. We could move two sticks from the main body and two sticks from the tail to reverse the direction. Therefore, this option is a possible correct answer.

From the analysis above, both options 2 (3 moves) and 4 (4 moves) could be correct answers. Without further information, we cannot definitively determine which option is the minimum number of moves required.
