If you pass a sphere through a keyhole, it needs a circular shape to pass through. To me this picture included looks like a sphere on the bottom...am I seeing the picture wrong? If that is a sphere on bottom, it should need a curved passage such as E. Would not surprise me if this was a typo in the answer key.
EDIT: Unless that sphere on bottom isn't centered. If it is offset towards the front and small enough, I guess pass through D...I am on a 7" screen and can't see the picture that well!
