A 3×3 figure-matrix item like this one changes its figures along two independent rules that are best read separately: the number of arms radiating from the central dot is fixed within each column and increases by one from column 1 to column 3, and the set of compass directions those arms point in is obtained by rotating Row 1's direction-set by a single fixed angle that stays constant across all three columns of that row, while only the arm's end-style (plain stroke, arrowhead, or hook) changes from row to row.

1. Arm count by column: every figure in column 1 has 1 arm, column 2 has 2 arms, and column 3 has 3 arms, in all three rows — so the missing figure must have exactly 3 arms.

2. End-style by row: Row 1's arms end in a plain stroke, Row 2's arms end in an arrowhead, and Row 3's arms end in a small hook — so the missing figure's arms must end in a hook, like the other two Row 3 figures.

3. Row 1 to Row 2 rotation: comparing matching columns shows every arm direction reverses by 180° — column 1's left arm becomes right, column 2's up-and-right arms become left-and-down, and column 3's left-right-down arms become up-left-right.

4. Row 1 to Row 3 rotation: using the two completed Row 3 figures, column 1's left arm becomes up, and column 2's up-and-right arms become right-and-down — both changes are a single 90° clockwise turn of the Row 1 arms.

5. Applying that same 90° clockwise turn to column 3's Row 1 arms (left, right, down): left turns to up, right turns to down, and down turns to left, giving up, left, and down arms with no arm on the right.

This 90° clockwise turn was confirmed independently from column 1 (left → up) and from column 2 (up-and-right → right-and-down) before being applied to column 3, so the predicted missing figure is fixed by two matching data points rather than a single guess.

So the missing figure has three hook-ended arms pointing up, left, and down, with no arm on the right side.
