Select a figure from amongst the Answer figures which will continue the series established by the four Problem Figures.

The correct answer is Option (1) → 

• The black crescent moves clockwise around the horizontal oval in each step.

• Simultaneously, the small arrow on the vertical oval alternates its position/direction in a fixed cycle.

• After the 4th figure, the next position repeats the arrangement seen in the 1st figure.

Therefore, the figure that correctly continues the series is Option 1.
