First, look closely: The image displays a 3x3 grid of panels. Each panel contains a plus sign (+) that divides the space into four quadrants. Within these quadrants, there is a black dot and an empty square in various positions. The bottom-right panel has a question mark, indicating it's the one to be solved. Below the grid are four options labeled A, B, C, and D, each showing a different arrangement of the dot and square within the plus sign. The goal is to find the pattern governing the placement of the dot and square across the grid to determine which option correctly fills the missing panel.

Next, find information: I will analyze the patterns for the dot and the square separately, looking at their movement row by row and column by column.
-
Then, review the findings:
-
Dot Pattern: Looking at the rows, the dot moves clockwise around the quadrants. In Row 1, it starts top-left, then top-right, then bottom-right. In Row 2, it starts bottom-left, then bottom-right, then top-right. In Row 3, it starts bottom-right, then top-right, so the next position should be top-left.
-
Square Pattern: Similarly, the square also moves clockwise. In Row 1, it goes top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. In Row 2, it goes top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. In Row 3, it goes top-right, bottom-right, so the next position should be bottom-left.
Combining these two patterns, the missing panel should have the dot in the top-left quadrant and the square in the bottom-left quadrant.
