The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
  • In a figure matrix, study what stays fixed and what changes as you move along a row and as you move down a column.
  • A feature that shows up only in certain rows (such as an extra dot) must also be carried into the missing figure if that figure lies in the same row.

Step 1: Study column 3 across the first two rows.
Both figures in column 3 belong to the same slanted-outline shape family, just resized and reoriented from row 1 to row 2.
So the missing figure, also in column 3, must belong to this same outline family.

Step 2: Study row 3 across the first two columns.
Both figures already filled in along row 3 carry a small filled dot inside them, a feature that rows 1 and 2 do not have.

Step 3: Combine the column rule and the row rule.
The missing figure must be the column-3 outline shape, drawn with the row-3 dot marking added inside it.

Step 4: Compare with the options.
Only one option shows the correct outline together with the dot; the others either use the wrong outline shape or leave the dot out.

Final Answer: Option 3
