Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Answer figure 1.
Key insight: Two and three half-leaves are added alternately, and each addition is placed anticlockwise (counterclockwise) around the center.
Observe the problem figures: the number of half-leaves added alternates between two and three in successive steps.
Each group of added half-leaves is positioned anticlockwise from the previous additions, so the placement rotates in that direction.
Following the alternation, the next step after the last given problem figure must add two half-leaves anticlockwise.
Conclusion: Answer figure 1 matches this requirement (it shows the two half-leaves added in the correct anticlockwise positions), so it correctly continues the series.
