Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Figures 2, 3 and 4.
How they fit together:
Figure 3 forms a right-angled corner of the square and provides a notch that accepts part of another piece.
Figure 4 fits along the top edge and slides into the notch of figure 3, aligning its flat edge with the square side.
Figure 2 is a small triangular piece that fills the remaining triangular gap, completing the square without overlap.
Why other combinations fail:
Any set including figure 1 produces an irregular concave region that the other chosen pieces cannot fill without overlap.
Any set including figure 5 leaves mismatched straight edges or protrusions that do not align with the remaining pieces, creating a gap.
