Correct answer is A

In each row, the central part of the first figure rotates either 90o CW or 90o ACW to form the central part of the second figure and the central part of the first figure rotates through 180o to form the central part of the third figure. Also, in each row, there are 3 types of side elements - rectangles, circles and triangles.

In each row, there are 3 types of shadings of circles - a circle is unshaded, another circle has its right half shaded with vertical lines and yet another circle has its upper half shaded with horizontal lines. There are three specified positions of the two triangles each of which is used only once in a row. Also, two of the figures in each row have one triangle shaded.

Correct answer is C

The second figure is obtained from the first figure by moving the line segment to the opposite side of the square boundary and replacing it with two similar line segments. Also, the element in the lower-left corner gets replaced by two similar elements - one placed in the upper-left and the other placed in the lower-right corner.
