The question consists of five figures marked A, B, C, D and E called the problem figures followed by five other figures marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 called the answer figures. Select a figure from amongst the answer figures which will continue the same series as established by the five problem figures.

The upper symbol interchanges position with the symbol in the lower left corner and the remaining two symbols interchange positions; the symbol that reaches the lower right corner gets replaced by a new one. In the next step, the upper symbol interchanges position with the symbol in lower right corner and the other two symbols interchange positions; the symbol that reaches the lower left corner gets replaced by a new one. The process repeats.
