Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Final answer: Figure 4
Explanation:
Observe the repeating transformation across the problem figures: an outer element grows (or is present) and a new inner element appears inside it.
On the next step in the sequence the outer element is removed, leaving only the inner element.
Therefore the immediate continuation should show only the inner element without an enclosing outer shape.
Why figure 4 is correct:
Figure 4 is the only choice that displays the inner element by itself, matching the expected next state after the outer element disappears.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Figure 1 still shows both an outer and an inner element, so it does not represent the post-removal state.
Figure 2 retains an enclosing shape or displays a different configuration, so it does not match the required inner-only figure.
Figure 3 also does not show only the inner element and therefore fails to continue the sequence correctly.
