Select the figure from the options that can replace the question mark (?) and complete the given pattern.





Observe that the image is divided into four quadrants with rotational symmetry: each quadrant is a mirror image of its neighbors with arc details alternating in position and orientation.

Analyze the Grid Symmetry
The image is a 2x2 grid. The top-right quadrant contains 'BX' and a three-line arc in the top-left corner of that specific quadrant. The bottom-left quadrant contains '52' and a three-line arc in the top-right corner of that quadrant. The bottom-right quadrant contains '52' and no arc (it is a mirror symmetry).
Deduce the Missing Quadrant
The bottom-left ('52') and top-right ('BX') pairs are diagonally opposite. The top-left quadrant must contain the 'BX' label and a three-line arc positioned such that it completes the pattern reflected from the bottom-left quadrant. Following the symmetry, the 'BX' should be in the lower-left area of the top-left quadrant, and the arcs should be in the lower-right corner of the top-left quadrant.
A: The position of the arcs and text is incorrectly oriented. B: The '52' text belongs to the bottom sequence, not the top. D: The arc and text positioning does not match the established rotational and reflective symmetry of the grid.
C is correct because it correctly places the 'BX' text and the three-line arc in the required reflective position to complete the grid's symmetry pattern.
In grid-based non-verbal reasoning, always check for diagonal or rotational symmetry first, as most patterns rely on repeating or mirroring elements across the axes.
