Select the answer figure that completes the question figure (fills the quarter marked '?').

Answer: Option C
Detailed Solution
The figure is symmetric about both the vertical and the horizontal middle lines: each quarter is the mirror image of the quarter beside it.
So the missing bottom-right quarter is the mirror image of the bottom-left quarter (and the water image of the top-right quarter), which is answer figure (C).
The other answer figures are copies of the top-left, top-right or bottom-left quarter, which would break the symmetry.
Hence, option (C).

Image Completion — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Image Completion, a key topic in the Logical Reasoning section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Image completion, also called figure or pattern completion, shows a figure with a missing part. You must choose the option that completes it correctly. The figure might be a symmetrical design, a pattern repeated in quarters, or a grid in which rows and columns follow a rule. Start by checking for symmetry. Many figures are symmetrical about a vertical line, a horizontal line or both diagonals, so the missing part must mirror the part opposite it. If the figure is divided into four quarters, the quarters often repeat with rotation. For grid-based questions, look for a rule across each row or column, such as an element moving one step or the number of elements increasing by one. Then check that the chosen option fits every line of the pattern, not just the part beside the gap. Practise the image completion questions below. Each solution explains the symmetry or rule used.
