The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
  • Each box in this series carries two independently moving parts: a small right-angle mark in the top-right corner, and a pair of matching triangles with a circle between them.
  • The corner mark turns by a fixed angle in one consistent direction from box to box, while the triangle pair alternates between standing vertically (pointing towards the circle) and lying horizontally (pointing away from it).

Step 1: Track the corner mark across the given boxes.
From one box to the next, the small right-angle mark rotates by a fixed quarter-turn in the same direction.
Continuing this same turn predicts exactly how the mark should look in the missing (fourth) box.

Step 2: Track the triangle-and-circle arrangement.
The boxes alternate between the two triangles placed vertically, one above and one below the circle, and placed horizontally, one on each side of the circle.
Since the box just before the missing one has them arranged horizontally with the triangles pointing away from the circle, the established alternation fixes the exact triangle arrangement needed for the missing box.

Step 3: Combine both rules for the fourth box.
The correct figure must show both the corner mark rotated to its predicted position and the triangle pair in the arrangement matching the ongoing alternation.

Step 4: Compare with the options.
Only one option gets both details right together; the others place the triangles correctly but leave the corner mark un-rotated, or use the wrong triangle arrangement.

Final Answer: Option 3
