Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

In each step, one line disappears from the upper part of the figure and one line is added to the lower part of the figure.

We shall assign numbers to the pins as : . Then, in each step, the pins at positions 1,3 and 5 rotate 90 ^oCW while the pins at positions 2,4 and 6 rotate 90 ^oACW. Also, in each step, a new pin is added to the figure and its orientations are the same as that of the pin in fig. (A).

Similar figure appears in every second step and each time a figure reappears, it rotates 90 ^oCW.

In the first step, the elements interchange positions in the sequence . In each subsequent step, the elements move in the sequence obtained by rotating the previous sequence through 90 ^oCW. Also, in each step, the element that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new element.

The pin moves 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, .... spaces CW sequentially. The arrow moves two steps ACW each time.

The symbols move in the sequences and alternately.

Two and four 'V' shaped elements get inverted alternately.

In each step, both the elements move one space (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) downwards. Once any of the two elements reaches the lowermost position, then in the next step, it reaches the uppermost position in the next column to the right.

The V sign moves two spaces (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) and one space ACW alternately. The '=' sign moves one space and two spaces ACW alternately.

One of the designs (with white triangle at the centre) moves CW while the other design (with black triangle at the centre) moves ACW.
