Complete the figure matrix:

The correct answer is Option (4)

Left column:

• Top-left → 6-line figure (star)
• Bottom-left → 4-line figure (plus)
• Reduction: 6 → 4 (−2 lines)

Right column:

• Top-right → Hexagon (6 sides)
• So bottom-right → should be a 4-sided polygon (6 − 2 = 4)

Note: Although Option (1) may appear to have four sides, it cannot be considered correct. The pattern in the question is based on a systematic reduction of two elements from the figure in the same column. In the right column, the top figure is a hexagon (6 sides), and therefore, the bottom figure must be a 4-sided polygon obtained by reducing two sides from the same structural form. Option (4) correctly represents this transformation as it reflects a direct reduction from the hexagon. Option (1), on the other hand, does not follow this pattern of transformation from the given figure and hence is not appropriate.
