• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer:

D. D

To find the figure that replaces the question mark (?) to complete the pattern:

Pattern Analysis

1. Rotation Pattern (Horizontal Rows):

   
   

   • Row 1: The arrow figure rotates $90^\circ$ clockwise at each step:

     
     

     • Column 1: Points Left

       
       

     • Column 2: Points Down

       
       

     • Column 3: Points Right

       
       

   • Row 2: Follows the exact same $90^\circ$ clockwise rotation sequence:

     
     

     • Column 1: Points Left

       
       

     • Column 2: Points Down

       
       

     • Column 3 (?): Must point Right

       
       

2. Shaded Region Movement:

   
   

   • In Row 2, the black shaded region rotates clockwise along with the overall frame.

   • Rotating the figure from Column 2 (pointing down) by another $90^\circ$ clockwise places the arrow pointing Right with the black shaded triangle at the rightmost tip.

This matches Option D.
