The problem figures below change by a fixed rule. Which option figure continues the series?

Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) →
From each figure to the next, the T-shape turns 90° clockwise each time. So the next figure has the T-shape with its cross-bar at the upper-left end.

Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) — Incorrect. The T-shape has turned 90° anticlockwise instead of clockwise.
Option (2) — Incorrect. The T-shape has not turned at all since the last figure.
Option (3) — Incorrect. The T-shape has turned 45° instead of 90°.
