An illustration shows the unfolded version of an object comprising of 6 squares. There are three rows of squares. The first row is a single square. The second row is 2 squares. The second square of the second row adjoins the bottom of the square in the first row. The third row is 3 squares. The first square of the third row adjoins the bottom of the second square of the second row. Folds are shown as dashed lines.

An illustration shows an unfolded version of a cube. Four adjoining squares are positioned horizontally. A fifth square adjoins the top side of the first square. A sixth square adjoins the bottom side of the fourth square. Folds are shown as dashed lines.

An illustration shows the unfolded version of an object comprising of 6 squares. There are 3 adjoining squares positioned horizontally. The first square shares its bottom side with an adjoining fourth square. The third horizontal square shares its bottom side with a fifth square and a sixth square that are stacked vertically. Folds are shown as dashed lines.

To determine which net can be folded into a cube, we should look for a configuration of squares that allows for each square to become a face of the cube, with no overlaps or gaps.

1. **First net:** Describes a configuration that's more complex; not easily recognizable as a cube.

2. **Second net:** This configuration of four squares in a line with one square above and one below creates a valid cube net. It includes all six squares and allows for proper folding into a cube.

3. **Third net:** Contains three squares in a line with additional squares below. This configuration does not allow for a proper folding into a cube, as it leads to complications in aligning adjacent squares correctly.

4. **Fourth net:** Similar to the third, but the arrangement makes it hard to visualize as a cube since it doesn't sufficiently allow for three-dimensional folding without overlap.

Based on this analysis, the **second net** is the one that can be folded into a cube.
