Question

What image from the bottom row should replace the question mark?

• A. 4
• B. 6
• C. 1
• D. None of these

Hint:

Notice that each shape always carries the same label, and each row has exactly two shaded shapes and one unshaded one.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Instead of building the full rule, eliminate the four answer choices one at a time against the pattern.

1. Image 4 (shaded triangle, T label): the label is wrong, since every triangle in the grid carries a C label, not T, so this is ruled out.
2. Image 6 (shaded triangle, C label): shape, label, and shading all match what the grid needs at that spot.
3. Image 1 (shaded square, T label): wrong shape and wrong label, since the missing cell needs a triangle.
4. None of these: not needed once a matching image turns up in the bottom row.

Image 6 is the only shape-label-shading combination consistent with the grid, so option B is correct.

Let's summarize:

• When a figure series fixes shape-label pairs, checking label and shading separately narrows the choices fast without redrawing the whole sequence.

Elimination confirms image 6 as the missing piece.
