Based on the analysis of the 3x3 grid, the underlying pattern is one of systematic removal of elements from left to right within each row and from top to bottom within each column.
Here's a breakdown of the logic:
1.
Row Analysis:
*
Row 1: Shows a rotation of dots around a central square with a cross. The dots move clockwise.
*
Row 2: Shows a pattern of subtraction. Starting with a full cross, square, and two dots, one dot is removed in the second panel, and then the vertical line of the cross and the remaining dot are removed in the third panel, leaving only the square and the horizontal line.
*
Row 3: Follows the same subtraction pattern as Row 2. The first panel has a cross and two dots (no square). The second panel removes the horizontal line and one dot, leaving a vertical line, a square, and one dot. Following this logic, the third panel should remove the vertical line and the remaining dot, leaving only the square and the horizontal line.
2.
Column Analysis:
*
Column 1: From top to bottom, the central square is removed.
*
Column 2: From top to bottom, first a dot is removed, then the vertical line and the remaining dot are removed, leaving only the square and the horizontal line.
*
Column 3: From top to bottom, the vertical line and both dots are removed in the middle panel, leaving only the square and the horizontal line. Therefore, the bottom panel should also show only the square and the horizontal line to complete the pattern of removal.
Both row and column analyses point to the same conclusion: the missing panel should contain only the central black square and the horizontal line of the cross.
Looking at the provided options:
*
A: A vertical line with two dots.
*
B: A full cross with a central square.
*
C: A vertical line with one dot.
*
D: A central square with a horizontal line.
Option
D is the only one that matches the required pattern.
Therefore, the correct answer is
D.
