Answer: D. All of the above
Explanation: The cover image for the Abbey Road album is one of the most famous cover images ever. This image came to life with many copies of other later performers, artists, musicians, as well as many versions where tourists on this street were photographed just as the Beatles did. The very idea for this picture was provided by Paul and he elaborated on it thoroughly before the photography session was set up. In the opinion of the fans, this picture was supposed to show the aforementioned "Paul is dead" version. So all of the options in question were part of a fan analysis to prove the theory of the "Paul is dead" version.
What really happened on the set for the photo shoots of the band members was given by the participants themselves, and one of the explanations was given by the photographer himself. Specifically, it was a very hot day and Paul appeared on the set in sandals. Just like any other session like this, more photos are taken, and then the ones that meet the need are selected. Paul is in some shots with sandals and in some without them because of the heat. Later, when choosing which image to put on the album cover, they chose one where the steps of all members are uniform, and in that image Paul is without sandals.
