Correct answer: E
Concept: In this kind of odd-figure-out question, four of the five figures are built using one shared construction rule, while the figure that breaks that shared rule -- not just "looks different" at a glance -- is the one that is different from the rest.
Application: In the figure labelled 1, the figure labelled 2, the figure labelled 3 and the figure labelled 4, the three arrows drawn inside the box always keep to the same ratio -- two arrows point towards the left and one arrow points towards the right. The figure labelled 5 does not reproduce this ratio, so it does not fit the shared rule that the other four figures follow.
Cross-check: Comparing the figures labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4 against one another confirms each one independently keeps to the two-left/one-right arrow ratio, so the rule is genuinely common to all four of them. Only the figure labelled 5 fails to reproduce it.
Hence, the figure labelled 5 is the figure that is different from the rest.
