Shown below are frames from a film sequence that follow the 180-degree rule in cinematography. Which option will replace the question mark? 
A
B
C
D
The 180 degree rule keeps the camera on one side of an imaginary line running between the two people and the objects on the table between them, so that the man, the woman, the cup and the mug always stay on the same side of the frame from shot to shot. The blank frame is a close-up insert of just the mug's handle, so the full version of that insert has to keep the cup and mug on the same sides established in the very first wide shot.
Only option D keeps the cup and mug on their established sides while showing the handle shape the blank frame hints at.
So the correct answer is Option D.
