Difficult Series Question- IQ test style

This looks like it’s next:
circle triangle
c square
+ s
heehee, sorry, just being silly. I figure c comes next.
it’s C, a symbol or letter will appear in two pictures in the same spot, so between the 6 pictures, a single symbol will only be found in 3 different places, C completes the missing pairs
C i just looked at where the S and C moved to they stayed for 2 phases and moved diagonally or back to starting point.
A B
1 1
2 2
3 3
For the second block A1, A3, and B2 from the previous block stay, the rest move clockwise.
For the third block B1, B3, A2 stay, the rest move counterclockwise.
For the fourth block, the same thing with the second block happens.
For the fifth block, the same thing with the third block happens.
For the final block, the same thing with the second block happens, so the answer is C.
its gotta be ‘c’. all of the shapes fall into the same position twice in the sequence. not much harder than the last…..maybe easier
The symbols must change position when they have occured twice successively. The symbols always shift two positions circularly forward when they change position.
The answer is C, because of the following reasons:
1. I expect a plus in the second row of the second column
2. I expect a triangle in the third row of the first column
3. I expect a ‘c’ in the first row of the first column
4. I expect a square in the second row of the first column.

The answer is C.
Objects move two moves either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Having a delay of two counts in between the moves.
C?
Don’t ask me to explain it.
That’s just the answer that seemed the most logical to me.
C. opposing rotating triangle formations
I’m going with c, to explain why is not that easy but i’ll give it a go.
Every figure (triangle, square, etc) stays at the same spot for two consecutive times. Of course it alternates so you don’t get 2 consecutive pictures in the serie which are the same. The +, triangle and the C follow the same pattern and the cirkel, square and s follow the same pattern, which is mirrored from the first. Further is the first pattern delayed by one frame from the second.
C
c
C. each thing follows the same pattern, stays in place twice, then moves diagonally to the other side and up one, then stays, then diagonal again, then stays, then down to the bottom on the same side. took me prolly 30 seconds to figure out.
C
Well, this one was supposed to be harder.
‘C’ is the answer
From the explanations given, looks like quite a few deduced the underlying pattern
Joe’s comment pretty much mirrors the solution diagram I’m going to post shortly.
The answer is c.
