The next figure is

The correct answer is Option 2:

Step 1: Orientation pattern

The small lines alternate orientation:

1st box → Horizontal lines
2nd box → Vertical lines
3rd box → Horizontal lines
4th box → Vertical lines

So the next figure must again have horizontal lines.

Step 2: Number pattern

Count the lines:

1st → 2 lines
2nd → 3 lines
3rd → 2 lines
4th → 3 lines

So the sequence alternates 2, 3, 2, 3, therefore the next should again have 2 lines.

Step 3: Position pattern

The lines move around the boundary clockwise:

• Left side

• Bottom side

• Bottom-right

• Top-right

So the next step places them toward the bottom region again.

Step 4: Combine rules

Next figure must have:

• Horizontal lines

• Two lines

• Placed near the bottom

Correct answer: Option 2 (two horizontal lines near the bottom)
