Select the figure from among the given options that can logically replace the question mark (?) in the following series

The correct option is:

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To find the missing figure in the given series, let us observe the movement and transformation of each symbol (element) across the consecutive boxes:

1. Movement of the central element to the corners:
- In Box 1, 'g' is at the center. In Box 2, 'G' moves to the center.
- In Box 2, 'G' is at the center. In Box 3, '%' moves to the center.
- In Box 3, '%' is at the center. In Box 4, the 4-pointed star moves to the center.
- In Box 4, the 4-pointed star is at the center. Following this pattern, in Box 5, the 6-pointed star must move to the center!

2. Movement of the other symbols along the corners:
- Notice the movement from Box 3 to Box 4:
• 'G' (top-right) moves to bottom-right.
• 'g' (bottom-right) moves to bottom-left.
• The 6-pointed star (bottom-left) moves to top-left.
• The 4-pointed star (top-left) moves to the center.
• '%' (center) moves to the top-right.

- Applying the same cyclic shift rule from Box 4 to Box 5:
• '%' (top-right) will move to the bottom-right.
• 'G' (bottom-right) will move to the bottom-left.
• 'g' (bottom-left) will move to the top-left.
• The 6-pointed star (top-left) will move to the center.
• The 4-pointed star (center) will move to the top-right.

Thus, the box at position 5 must have:
- Top-Left: g
- Top-Right: 4-pointed star
- Center: 6-pointed star
- Bottom-Left: G (inverted/rotated as per the pattern)
- Bottom-Right: %

Comparing this configuration with the given options, it perfectly matches the figure in Option 2:
