Find out which of the answer figures among (a), (b), (c) and (d) can be formed from the pieces given in the question figure.
Show Hint
When working with pieces to form a figure, focus on both the boundary edges and the internal patterns. Ensure each piece fits exactly with others, both in terms of shape and markings.
Step 1: Identify the pieces. The pieces in the question figure are four separate sections, each a quarter-circle. Each section has different patterns inside (curves and shapes).
Step 2: Analyze the arrangement. - In (a), the shapes do not fit well together in terms of matching the internal patterns and curved edges.
- (b) is not correct because it contains two separate shapes, not a complete arrangement.
- (c) matches the question figure because: - It forms a complete circle using four quarters. - The internal patterns and arrangement of segments match the given pieces exactly.
- (d) has incorrect placement and orientation of the sectors. \[ \boxed{\text{Option (c)}} \]

Approach Solution -2
Instead of matching the pieces to each option's overall look, check every option against two specific requirements: it must combine all four quarter-sections into one unbroken shape, and the internal curve/pattern on each section must line up edge to edge with its neighbours.
Option (a): the sections join, but the internal curves don't line up at the shared edges — fails.
Option (b): shows only two separate pieces rather than all four combined into one figure — fails.
Option (c): all four quarter-sections join into one complete circle with the internal patterns aligned edge to edge — satisfies both requirements.
Option (d): the sectors are rotated out of their correct orientation, so the pattern doesn't continue smoothly across joins — fails.
Only option (c) assembles the four pieces into one continuous, correctly aligned figure.
