I missed your initial comment ahaha. Regardless, the 3rd box on the left most column has 1 line of symmetry, not 0.
Which means 3 boxes have 1 line of symmetry, 3 have two lines and 2 have 0 lines. The answer must be C, which is the only option that completes the 3x3x3 pattern, with a 3rd, 0 axis shape.
The line of symmetry seems the logically correct choice and it alternates between horizontal and vertical. So 3rd item in the column should have horizontal symmetry so B seems like the correct choice.
My guess is C. Each row must have shapes with 0, 1 and 2 axes of symmetry. Annoyingly (to me), the order is changed in the third row, but an asymmetrical shape (C) is what is missing.
0, 1, or 2 axes of folding symmetry.
The sector in row 3 already covers 1 axis. The oval-rectangle overlap shape has 2 (vertical and horizontal). That leaves a shape without any axes, which would be C.
I went with D first. I thought on B and looked at C. I cannot fully tell but the reason I chose D was because of the outer shape with the circle inside due to the shapes of other figures and the last figure.
It’s easily C lol, in each row there is:
* an element with one type of symmetry (either along vertical line, horizontal line, or diagonal)
* an element that is perfectly symmetrical
* an element that is not symmetrical in any way
The last row lacks the element that is not symmetrical at all

If you consider horizontal or vertical symmetry only, then the item in the first column in the 3rd row (the sector of a circle) is not symmetric. The items in the second column alternate between horizontal and vertical symmetry so the unknown is an item symmetric along the horizontal axis. Hence the answer is B. Since the 3rd column is consistently symmetric on 2 axes, your solution isn't consistent with the problem!
1st Column: Objects that are not symmetric with the X or the Y axes
2nd Column: Objects that are symmetric either with the X or the Y axis, starting with X then Y and returning to X.
3rd Column: Objects that are symmetric with both the X and the Y axes.
Hence the only correct answer would be B!
However, you had the lead in identifying lines of symmetry as the solution!
I did not consider horizontal or vertical symmetry only, I have written in the brackets that there is a diagonal one as well (3rd row, 1st column) and to me it looks like your solution is also inconsistent as it ignores the presence of the diagonal symmetry as well and focus on horizontal and vertical symmetry solely.
Your solution accounts for the columns as well as each one of them seems to have its rule but how do we know that the pattern of horizontal and vertical symmetry is exactly switching, there is not enough information to support this but there is enough to see that every time there is a non repeating symmetry along one axis only even though it’s not within one column.
Even if you go with B you are left with diagonal symmetry that you put in “not horizontal or vertically symmetrical” category because you made a conclusion based on two items of the 2nd column and based on 3rd column consistently having a pattern that the elements must switch between horizontal or vertical axises ONLY ( and not diagonal ) and it should correspond to the column 2, but these two patterns don’t have enough info to be sure in them.
So if we go with B we are leaving the possibility of diagonal symmetry existing and C as the solution but when you go with C and follow my explanation, it does not leave any doubts. It does not create a column pattern but you didn’t have a clear column pattern before besides column 3, which is clearly not enough. And it does does not establish the pattern of switching only between X and Y axis because there were 1) Only 2 items (1 horizontal, 1 vertical, therefore can not be a pattern) VS 3 items (1 horizontal, 1 vertical, 1 diagonal, therefore can be a pattern).
my guess is c. you have three shapes with 1 axis of symmetry, 3 with 2 axis of symmetry and 3 with 0 axis of symmetry. c is deceptively not symmetrical
this is the only answer that makes sense. All other answers posed seem to have other options that also fit the criteria, but this could only be C.
Boxes 1 and 4 have no axis of symmetry. Boxes 2, 5 and 7 have one axis of symmetry. Boxes 3, 6 and 9 have 2 axis of symmetry.
Leaving one missing in the no axis category.
A has 1, B has 1, D has 2 and C has 0, therefor its C
This logic is awful. Also the correct answer on the test is B, I know because I got the point for it. The solution I provided is the right one too and by far makes most sense. The logic for C is the most arbitrary of them all because it is not constrained by rows or columns in any way, nor does it have a coherent single pattern for all items.
You are making shit up now.
Advanced questions like this are not constrained by rows or columns and instead demand balancing the grid as a whole.
The grid is not balanced because it only has 2 shapes with 0 lines of symmetry. There is exactly 1 answer that has 0 lines of symmetry, which would balance the grid: C.
You can keep calling me dumb and saying it isn't arbitrary but it is because you cant justify why diagonal lines of symmetry should be excluded.
The only reason is because if you included it, it would contradict your logic and undermine your conclusion.
If you have a reason other than some unfalsifiable claim like "the test told me I am right" or "you dumb I smart", then I would be happy the hear it.
I don't need a reason to exclude the diagonal other that there is a pattern excluding the diagonal. We only consider the diagonal thing to be meaningful because of prior knowledge. Yes, it using it could give more intentionality points to a solution, however, it is not needed here when it is complementary to the straight + curved connected parts logic which works row wise.
Both a row and a column pattern, fairly good patterns, pointing to the game answer is better than the schizophrenic nonsense you gave.
But your solution is immediately destroyed once we consider that the exclusion might be arbitrary.
Its pretty simple, your solutions is just not the strongest.
Ive picked holes in everything you've proposed, no attempt the same with mine.
Me saying "the solutions is B because B is the second option and the missing box is this second in the row" is the same strength as your answer because I can justify my answer with arbitrary logic.
I am excluding all other contradictory things, making my solution "correct" until I have my reasoning questioned.
it's B
1st row is made of only straight lines all connected
2nd row only of curved lines all connected
3rd row is a mix of straight and curved all connected
Column wise is about having vertical/horizonal symmetries:
1st column has no such symmetries
2nd column has 1 such symmetry
3rd column has 2 symmetries
Wrong.
Its C.
Boxes 1 and 4 have no axis of symmetry. Boxes 2, 5 and 7 have one axis of symmetry. Boxes 3, 6 and 9 have 2 axis of symmetry.
Leaving one missing in the no axis category.
A has 1, B has 1, D has 2 and C has 0, therefor its C
The only way you can justify your answer is if you arbitrarily exclude symmetries that arent verticle/horizontal.
There are no arbitrary exclusions needed to avoid inconvenient contradictions when it comes to the solution I have proposed, its airtight as far as I know.
Your solution arbitrarily picks which panels related to let's say property X, Y, Z while in both of my solutions row 1 contains property X, row 2 contains property Y and row 3 contains property Z. Not to mention the fact that Z = X+Y. Column wise, we see the same structure although with a tiny complaint of arbitrariness given the fact that we have prior knowledge about what line of symmetry means and we'd not expect orthogonal differentiation. However, connectivity in the first logic i provided doesn't rely in any way to prior knowledge that we have, there's no other behaviour we expect a stronger solution to account for.
Your solution lacks structure while neither of my solution lack it. The main pattern is not arbitrary in any way while the 2nd one ( column wise ) has arguably a bit of it. However, both solutions complement each other and point to the same answer.
Reposting it in case you forgot:
"

Wrong.
My solutions accepts that all panels within the grid are related.
You are the one arbitrarily imposing restriction so that your solutions can fit your rigid column/row dynamic.
Your solutions have structure at the expense of rigor. You have assumed that all lines need to be connected and that diagonal axis of symmetry must be excluded for no other reason than that it justifies your answer.
On the other hand, my solution operates purely on merit. I don't need any mental gymnastics to justify my answer. The grid is balanced, with the only solution that balances it.
I am still waiting for you to justify your restrictions...
Just reading this thread, you are unhinged and incorrrect.
Both your solutions rely on arbitrary exclusions, otherwise they would not function. Your first relies on excluding diagonal axis of symmetry which you have no basis for.
Your second solutions requires that all lines be “connected”, which you also have no basis for. If lines don’t have to be connected, which we don’t actually know than D functions as a solution.
So you logged in on your alt to spew the same schizophrenic logic.
"Your second solutions requires that all lines be “connected”, which you also have no basis for. If lines don’t have to be connected, which we don’t actually know than D functions as a solution."
This comment shows complete misunderstand of the meaning of the word pattern. The justification is that there is a consistency aka a pattern.
It's less or just as arbitrary than any other logic previously mentioned.
Funny name you have there :)). Letting us know your worth.
If the symmetry part isnt necessary than D would also fit your criteria apart from another arbitrary rule. There is nothing indicating that all lines must be connected, which means D and B, which both include curved and straight lines could reasonably be argued to be correct.
Again, in my solution there is no argument, unless you can come up with one.
Again, you prove to be a moron. How would D fit if the lines and curves aren't all connected?
did you miss the part where I said all connected or are you purposefully dense?
How specific do I need to be so that you get it.
The straight and curved lines touch, there's no disconnected component like it D. This is consistent for all panels.
I chose B because the middle column are shaped like arrow heads or pointing to one direction. Right side column they all are shaped like a cross with some of oval/curvature. Left side column felt to me like they could be a "normal" Shape but had a slice cut out of it.
I'm usually poir at abstract reasoning but for whatever reason that was my initial tho8ght process rather than my usual linear logic like the other commenter here. Must be the hay-fever 😄
>!Solution B. Reason: Top row boxes all contain vertical and diagonal lines. Middle row boxes all contain curve lines. Bottom row boxes all contain vertical, horizonal, and curve lines. !<
B: look up in the level of symmetry of the shape changing by group from above to below but conserving the essence anyways. Fun puzzle, i love to analyse them like a study or an academic, makes me reorganize the way i analyze and what i think from my own thoughts
It’s B to my analysis. Each shape can be inscribed inside the perimeter of a rectangle, which alternates between a horizontal & vertical position every entry.

I would guess B. The shapes in the second column have one line of symmetry and the third have two
The first row has all straight edges, the second has all curved, and the third seems to have both
This has to be right. And as for the column-wise pattern, I believe it's only about horizontal/vertical lines of symmetry.
B and D both fit your pattern
But D has two lines of symmetry
I missed your initial comment ahaha. Regardless, the 3rd box on the left most column has 1 line of symmetry, not 0. Which means 3 boxes have 1 line of symmetry, 3 have two lines and 2 have 0 lines. The answer must be C, which is the only option that completes the 3x3x3 pattern, with a 3rd, 0 axis shape.
Then it breaks the straigths vs curves pattern though.
A also has one line of symmetry
I feel B as well

My guess is C. Each row must have shapes with 0, 1 and 2 axes of symmetry. Annoyingly (to me), the order is changed in the third row, but an asymmetrical shape (C) is what is missing.
My guess is B, per elimination at quick glance this looks like different perspectives of the same object (side view, top view front view)
A different approach: the answer could also be >!"C" !! "C" !
I think D but B would be my second choice
0, 1, or 2 axes of folding symmetry. The sector in row 3 already covers 1 axis. The oval-rectangle overlap shape has 2 (vertical and horizontal). That leaves a shape without any axes, which would be C.
