Correct answer: A
Concept: Each cell of the figure matrix contains two arrow symbols, one on the left and one on the right. Within every row of the matrix, the following rule governs how the second and third figures are generated from the first: the second figure is obtained by reversing the direction of only the right-hand arrow of the first figure, and the third figure is obtained by reversing the direction of BOTH arrows of the second figure.
Row 3's first figure has a left arrow pointing up and a right arrow pointing down (↑, ↓).
Reverse only the right-hand arrow: the down arrow becomes an up arrow, so the missing (second) figure of row 3 should have both arrows pointing up (↑, ↑).
Cross-check: apply the second rule to this predicted figure — reversing BOTH arrows of (↑, ↑) gives (↓, ↓), which is exactly the given third figure of row 3, confirming the derivation independently.
The figure showing two upward arrows (↑, ↑) completes the matrix — this is option (1).
