D
The Correct Answer is d)
The V progresses vertically down 1 unit per turn and every other turn rotates. This eliminates a) and b).
The other character progresses counterclockwise every turn.
Difference between 1 and 2 turn = 1 unit CCW
Difference between 2 and 3 turn = 2 units CCW
Difference between 3 and 4 turn = 3 units CCW
Difference between 4 and 5 turn = 4 units CCW
therefore,
Difference between 5 and 6 turn = 5 units CCW
c) is 4 units, e) is 6 units
I found this puzzle very hard, but here its my approach:
1) the V symbol always goes one step down in the middle column and rotate 90 degrees clock wise every 2 steps.
2) the other symbol move backward in his row, if its located in the left most cell of the row, it goes to the right most cell of the next row, but when the V symbol rotates 90 degress the other symbol goes to the his left upper diagonal always, i did not find relationship in the way the second symbol its form .
so i think is D, but to be honest I am not 100 % sure.
I also thought that the the symbol different that the V symbols moves like an S in the square but the pattern break in the last item so, i abadon that theory
Well, there definitely should be an upside-down “V” in the bottom center of the box.

But what about the other symbol that seems to be required?
D or not?
d
The arrowhead symbol is pretty straightforward. That doesn’t need any discussion. It definitely has to be c, d, or e.
But the second symbol is little more challenging.
I tried to look at it as simple as possible. So I came up with patern: two symbols on top, one in the middle, next one on the bottom, and next two catching the begining so being on the top agian. That means it has to be e because its the only one with symbol on the top.
My suggestion is: e
It’s difficult even to describe it, if one doesn’t wants to write a novel…
d
the answer is d.
this one was kind of tough. D is the answer we were looking for
counterclock wise was a nice explanation for the second symbol!, its more simpler than mine so is much better. nice!
I chose D simply because — between C, D and E, — on D the second symbol is in the only position that doesn’t repeat itself; after excluding other possibilities, of course. It’s easy to see it if you draw it.
(the first symbol is obvious)
d
