Figure (d)

The correct answer is B, which shows a Square with a Vertical line.
– Analyze the pattern in the figure matrix.
– Observe the shapes in each row:
– Row 1: Circle, Square, Triangle
– Row 2: Square, Triangle, Circle
– Row 3: Triangle, Circle, ?
– The sequence of shapes in each row appears to be a cyclic permutation of (Circle, Square, Triangle). Following this pattern, Row 3 should be (Triangle, Circle, Square).
– Observe the orientation of the internal line in each row:
– Row 1: Vertical, Horizontal, Vertical
– Row 2: Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal
– Observe the orientation of the internal line in each column:
– Column 1: Vertical, Horizontal, Vertical
– Column 2: Horizontal, Vertical, Horizontal
– Column 3: Vertical, Horizontal, ?
– The pattern in columns 1 and 2 for line orientation is (V, H, V) and (H, V, H). Extending this pattern to Column 3 (starting with Vertical and Horizontal in the first two rows), the orientation in the third row of Column 3 should be Vertical.
– Combining the shape and line orientation for the missing figure (Row 3, Column 3): The shape is Square and the line orientation is Vertical.
The pattern for shapes can be seen as moving one position right cyclically (Circle -> Square -> Triangle -> Circle). The pattern for line orientation alternates within rows and columns. The combination of these two patterns determines the missing figure.
