Select the option in which the given figure is embedded. Rotation is not…

Concept

An embedded figure is present when every required segment, junction, and adjacency can be traced inside the larger figure in the same orientation. Extra lines in the larger figure may be ignored.

Because rotation is forbidden here, the triangular part must remain above the left square, with its diagonal sloping down to the right and the second square extending to the right.

Application

1. Use the house-like grid with four lower rectangular cells and two roof peaks. Begin at the left roof peak of the central pair.

2. Trace vertically downward along the left boundary of the first selected lower cell, then continue to the lower horizontal line.

3. Trace rightward along that lower line across two adjacent cells, then move upward along the right boundary to the middle horizontal line.

4. Trace leftward along the middle horizontal line across the same two cells; the intervening vertical segment divides them into the required adjacent squares.

5. Finally, trace the diagonal from the starting roof peak down-right to the junction between the two squares. These segments reproduce the given figure without rotation.

Cross-check and contrast

• The cross-shaped grid provides diagonal side wings and a vertical stack, but the required two-square horizontal base with the same left-apex diagonal cannot be traced in the stated orientation.

• The simple flat-topped house has two lower cells, but its roof segments do not supply the required diagonal from the left boundary to the junction between those cells.

• The diamond with curved sides lacks the required pair of adjacent square cells and the matching upright triangular attachment.

Therefore, the embedded figure is the house-like grid with four lower rectangular cells and two diagonally divided roof sections.
