Explanation:

Analyze the matrix rows

The matrix consists of geometric shapes with internal dividing lines.

• Row 1: A pentagon with a vertical dividing line, a square with a vertical dividing line, and a triangle with a vertical dividing line.
• Row 3: A pentagon with a horizontal dividing line, a square with a horizontal dividing line, and a triangle with a horizontal dividing line.
• Row 2: A pentagon with a diagonal dividing line (slanted down-right), a missing shape ?, and a triangle with a diagonal dividing line (slanted down-right).

Determine the missing shape properties

• Shape type: The middle column contains squares (or diamonds when rotated).
• Line orientation: The first column has a diagonal line slanted from top-left to bottom-right. The third column has a diagonal line slanted from top-left to bottom-right. Therefore, the middle shape must be a square/diamond with a diagonal line slanted from top-left to bottom-right.

Match with the options

• Option A: A diamond with a diagonal line slanted from top-left to bottom-right.
• Option B: A diamond with a diagonal line slanted from top-right to bottom-left.
• Option C: A diamond with a vertical line.
• Option D: A diamond with a horizontal line.
• Option E: A diamond with no dividing line.

Thus, Option A is the correct match.

Answer:

• (A) Diamond with a diagonal line slanted from top-left to bottom-right (Correct answer)
• (B) Diamond with a diagonal line slanted from top-right to bottom-left
• (C) Diamond with a vertical line
• (D) Diamond with a horizontal line
• (E) Diamond with no dividing line
