Which of the answer figures completes the figure matrix?

The correct answer is Option (3) → 

Looking at the figure matrix, we can analyze the pattern row-wise:

Row 1:

• First figure: Triangle inside a circle with internal lines
• Second figure: Triangle without circle but same internal lines
• Third figure: Only the intersecting internal lines of the triangle

Pattern: Each step removes the outer layer (circle → triangle → lines only).

Row 2:

• First figure: Circle inside a square with cross lines
• Second figure: Circle only with cross lines
• Third figure: Only the cross lines

Pattern: Same as above — each step removes outer shapes.

Row 3:

• First figure: Pentagon with internal lines and a dot inside
• Second figure: ?
• Third figure: Only a line passing through the dot

Following the same pattern:

• Remove the outermost layer (pentagon) → figure left: internal lines and dot inside.

So the middle figure in Row 3 should be the internal lines inside the pentagon with the dot, but without the outer pentagon.
