Identify the figure given in the options which when put in place of ‘?’ will logically complete the series.

Correct option is C

The central pattern (a circle with a plus inside) remains fixed in all figures, while the surrounding polygon (pentagon) rotates 45° clockwise with each step. Starting from a flat base in the first figure, the pentagon rotates gradually clockwise by 45° in each next figure. Following this consistent rotation pattern, the missing fifth figure must show the pentagon turned another 45° clockwise from the fourth image. Option 3 shows this correct orientation.
· (a) Option 1: ✘ The rotation of the outer shape does not match the logical next position in the series.
· (b) Option 2: ✘ The orientation is not consistent with the rotational sequence.
· (c) Option 3: ✔ Correct; the pentagon is rotated correctly by 45° from the previous figure, completing the sequence.
· (d) Option 4: ✘ Incorrect orientation; it breaks the clockwise rotation pattern.
