The correct answer is

To solve this logical reasoning problem, we need to identify the pattern followed by the given series of shapes and then select the figure that completes the series.

By examining the series, we can observe the following pattern:

  1. The first figure is a circle enclosing a triangle.
  2. The second figure is a triangle enclosing a square.
  3. The third figure is a square enclosing a pentagon.

The pattern shows a progression where:

  1. The outer shape changes progressively in geometric complexity: Circle → Triangle → Square.
  2. The inner shape is consistently one level of geometric complexity less than the previous outer shape.

Therefore, the next figure in the sequence should have a pentagon enclosing a hexagon.

Now, let's examine the options given to identify such a figure:

,
,
,

Reviewing these images, the second option:

Correctly shows a pentagon enclosing a hexagon, following the established pattern. Thus, this is the figure that should replace the question mark in the series.

Conclusion: The correct answer is the second option, which fits the geometric progression observed in the sequence.
