Correct answer: A
Key idea: find the figure where the dot is inside both the triangle and the square, but not inside the circle.
First alternative: the dot lies in the region where the triangle and the square overlap only. This matches Figure X because the dot is inside both the triangle and the square and is not inside the circle.
Second alternative: the dot lies inside the circle (and may also be inside the square). This does not match because the dot must not be inside the circle.
Third alternative: the dot is in a region that includes the circle or is not in the triangle-and-square overlap alone, so it does not meet the required placement.
Fourth alternative: the dot is either inside the circle or outside the triangle-square common region, so it is not the correct match.
Conclusion: only the figure where the dot is inside the triangle-and-square overlap and not inside the circle matches Figure X.
