Correct Answer :

Option D

Solution :

To find the missing figure in the series, let us analyze the step-by-step movement of each element within the 8-sector divided circle across the sequence:

1. Movement of the Shaded Sector:
- Figure 1: Shaded sector is in the bottom-right position (sector 4 in a clockwise numbering from top-right).
- Figure 2: Moves 1 sector clockwise to the bottom position (sector 5).
- Figure 3: Moves 1 sector clockwise to the bottom-left position (sector 6).
- Figure 4: Moves 1 sector clockwise to the middle-left position (sector 7).
- Figure 5 (Missing Figure): Following the pattern of moving 1 step clockwise each time, the shaded sector must move to the top-left position (sector 8).

2. Movement of the Shapes (Star, Circle, Square):
- In each step, the set of three symbols (Star, Circle, Square) shifts together along the sectors.
- In Figure 1: Star is in sector 8 (top-left), Circle is in sector 1 (top-right), Square is in sector 2 (middle-right).
- In Figure 2: The entire group moves 1 sector clockwise: Star is in sector 1, Circle is in sector 2, Square is in sector 3.
- In Figure 3: Moving 1 sector clockwise again: Star is in sector 2, Circle is in sector 3, Square is in sector 4.
- In Figure 4: Moving 1 sector clockwise again: Star is in sector 3, Circle is in sector 4, Square is in sector 5.
- In Figure 5 (Missing Figure): Moving 1 sector clockwise: Star must be in sector 4 (middle-right), Square must be in sector 6 (bottom-left), and Circle must be in sector 5 (bottom-middle).

Matching this layout with the given choices, the figure that correctly shows the shaded sector at the middle-left/bottom-left region and the symbols (Circle, Square, Star) rotated appropriately is Option 1.

The correct figure to complete the series is Option 1:
