Hint:

Number the seven corners of the heptagon and track how far the square, the circle and the arrow move from one box to the next.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Number the seven corners of the heptagon 0 to 6, counting anticlockwise from the top corner.
Square: corners 3, 0, 4, 1 in the four boxes. Each step moves it 4 corners forward (3 + 4 = 7 = 0, 0 + 4 = 4, 4 + 4 = 8 = 1), so next it is at corner 5, which is the lower right.
Circle: corners 1, 3, 5, 0, so it moves 2 corners each step and next stands at corner 2, which is the lower left.
Arrow (always pointing up): it also moves 2 corners each step, so after the last box it stands at the upper right.
Only option (3) has the square at the lower right, the circle at the left and the arrow at the upper right.
Answer: (3) the third shape
