Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 

Key observation

In each row:

  • Column 1 = Base figure
  • Column 2 = Base figure + an extra element
  • Column 3 = Only the extra element (base figure removed)

Check Row 1

  • Col 1: Square
  • Col 2: Square + diagonal line + small circle
  • Col 3: Diagonal line + small circle

Check Row 2

  • Col 1: Triangle with a vertical line
  • Col 2: Triangle with vertical + horizontal line
  • Col 3: Horizontal line

Apply to Row 3

  • Col 2: Big circle containing a rectangle with a small circle
  • Col 3: Rectangle with a small circle

So, the extra element is rectangle + small circle.

Therefore, Column 1 must be the base figure only, i.e.: A simple circle
