Keyhole Question

I have attached a question.
Can someone tell me why the answer is NOT A?

Everything seems to be able to slide through.

I think there's a notch missing in the bottom section.

It can, but it needs to fit like a key from what I heard. what did the correct answer look like?

Right. Every edge and surface on the key needs to touch every edge and surface on the keyhole.

Its the top/bottom view. Theres also a notch missing at the top as well. Don't miss that.
