Select the figure from the options, which when placed in the blank space would complete the given pattern.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →

Going round the pattern clockwise (top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left), each quarter is the one before it turned through 90° clockwise about the centre. The slanting lines form one large cross, and the dot moves round its arms in the same order: top, right, bottom, left. So the missing quarter has the line from the centre to its lower-right corner and the dot below that line.
