To solve the problem, we need to identify the pattern in each sequence and then draw the next image based on that pattern. Let's analyze each part step by step.
---
Part (a): Circles
The sequence is:
1. One circle.
2. Two circles.
3. Three circles.
4. Four circles.
Pattern: The number of circles increases by 1 in each step.
Next Image: Five circles.
---
Part (b): Triangles
The sequence is:
1. One triangle.
2. A triangle made up of 3 smaller triangles.
3. A triangle made up of 6 smaller triangles.
Pattern: Each step forms a larger triangle where the number of smaller triangles increases. Specifically:
- Step 1: 1 triangle.
- Step 2: 3 triangles.
- Step 3: 6 triangles.
The number of triangles follows the triangular number sequence: \(1, 3, 6, 10, \ldots\).
Next Image: A triangle made up of 10 smaller triangles.

Part (c): Crosses
The sequence is:
1. One cross.
2. A 2x2 grid of crosses.
3. A 3x3 grid of crosses.
Pattern: The size of the grid increases by 1 in each step:
- Step 1: 1x1 grid.
- Step 2: 2x2 grid.
- Step 3: 3x3 grid.
Next Image: A 4x4 grid of crosses.

Part (d): Squares
The sequence is:
1. One square.
2. A structure with one square on top of another.
3. A structure with two squares on top of three squares.
Pattern: The number of squares in each layer increases by 1 as we move downward:
- Step 1: 1 square.
- Step 2: 1 + 1 = 2 squares.
- Step 3: 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 squares.
The next structure will have an additional layer with one more square than the previous bottom layer:
- Step 4: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 squares.
Next Image: A structure with three squares on top of four squares.

Final Answers:
1.
Part (a): Five circles.
2.
Part (b): A triangle made up of 10 smaller triangles.
3.
Part (c): A 4x4 grid of crosses.
4.
Part (d): A structure with three squares on top of four squares.

Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{(a) Five circles, (b) Triangle with 10 smaller triangles, (c) 4x4 grid of crosses, (d) Structure with three squares on top of four squares.}
}
\]
