Find the missing figure in the series.

The correct answer is Option 4.

Step-by-step Explanation:

To find the missing figure in the series, let us observe the pattern of elements positioned along the main diagonal from bottom-left to top-right across the boxes.


Let us trace the position of each element in the alternate (odd-numbered) figures of the sequence:

1. Figure 1:
- Bottom-Left position: W
- Center position: V
- Top-Right position: A

2. Figure 3:
- Bottom-Left position: V (shifted from Center)
- Center position: A (shifted from Top-Right)
- Top-Right position: W (shifted from Bottom-Left)

Notice that from Figure 1 to Figure 3, the three symbols shift positions cyclically along the diagonal:
- The symbol at the Bottom-Left moves to the Top-Right position.
- The symbol at the Center moves to the Bottom-Left position.
- The symbol at the Top-Right moves to the Center position.
All symbols retain their standard upright orientation in the odd-numbered figures.

3. Figure 5 (Missing Figure):
Applying the exact same cyclic shift to Figure 3 to determine the elements in Figure 5:
- The symbol at Bottom-Left (V) moves to the Top-Right position.
- The symbol at Center (A) moves to the Bottom-Left position.
- The symbol at Top-Right (W) moves to the Center position.

Thus, Figure 5 must have:
- Bottom-Left: A
- Center: W
- Top-Right: V

This layout corresponds exactly to Option 4:
