Select the option figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the figure given below to complete the pattern.
The large square is split into four quarters that are copies of one another, each turned through 90°. Moving anticlockwise around the square (top-left, bottom-left, bottom-right, top-right), every quarter is the previous one rotated 90° anticlockwise, so the missing top-right quarter is the bottom-right quarter rotated once more.
Step 1 — Follow the arrow: it points up in the top-left quarter, left in the bottom-left quarter and down in the bottom-right quarter. Turning it 90° anticlockwise once more makes it point to the right.
Step 2 — Follow the circle: it sits in the outer corner of each quarter (top-left, bottom-left, bottom-right), with a bent line running around it. In the top-right quarter it must sit in the top-right corner with the same bent line.
Step 3 — Follow the small rectangle on the slanted line: it always lies next to the centre of the large square, so in the top-right quarter it lies on a slanted line near the bottom-left corner.
The figure with an extra pair of crossing lines adds lines that no other quarter has. The figure with an upward arrow and a stepped block has the wrong arrow and no slanted line with a rectangle. The figure with an upward arrow and a long line from the circle has the arrow in the wrong direction.
The figure with the circle in the top-right corner, the small rectangle on a slanted line at the bottom-left and an arrow pointing right, with no extra crossing lines option is correct.
