Select the option that fits in the place of the question mark to complete the pattern.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) →
The figure looks the same after a half turn about its centre: each quarter is the opposite quarter turned through 180°. So the missing bottom-right quarter is the top-left quarter turned through 180°.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) — Incorrect. This copies the top-left quarter as it is; the gap needs that quarter turned through 180°.
Option (2) — Incorrect. This is the correct piece turned through 90° anticlockwise.
Option (3) — Incorrect. The curved line of the correct piece is missing.
