Select the option in which the given figure is embedded (rotation is NOT allowed).





Identify the characteristic 'C-shaped' or 'stepped' cutout segment of the target figure and scan the options for that exact orientation and connection to the triangle.
Identify the characteristic 'C-shaped' or 'stepped' cutout segment of the target figure and scan the options for that exact orientation and connection to the triangle.
Analyze the target figure
The target figure consists of an irregular shape with a stepped cutout (resembling a jagged notch) attached to an inverted V-shaped or triangular base at a single point.
Evaluate Option A
By observing the bottom-right portion of Option A, we can clearly identify the stepped cutout shape oriented exactly as in the question figure, integrated into the larger grid structure, with the triangular base attached at the intersection point.
Verify matching components
The lines forming the stepped segment in Option A match the number and angle of the lines in the source figure, and the triangular vertex matches the connection point perfectly.
B: The geometric arrangement in the bottom-left does not contain the specific stepped notch required. C: The configuration is inverted and the triangle is at the top, which is not permitted. D: The orientation of the stepped notch is tilted and does not match the original figure.
A is correct because the embedded shape with its characteristic stepped cutout and triangle vertex can be identified exactly in the bottom-right section of the grid in Option A without any rotation.
In embedded figure questions, always look for the most unique or sharpest angle in the target figure first, as it is the easiest to trace across all options.
