The first figure changes into the second by a rule. Which figure does the third change into by the same rule?

?
  • A. Small hexagon at top left; half-shaded pentagon, shaded right at top centre; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at middle right; square at bottom centre
  • B. Small hexagon at top left; half-shaded pentagon, shaded right at top right; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at middle right; square at bottom centre
  • C. Small half-shaded hexagon, shaded up-right at top left; half-shaded pentagon, shaded right at top centre; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at middle right; square at bottom centre
  • D. Small hexagon at top left; half-shaded pentagon, shaded right at top centre; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at middle right; square at bottom centre

Explanation

The outer-ring movement sends top-right to top-left, middle-right to top-centre, bottom-centre to middle-right, and middle-left to bottom-centre. Every shape then turns 135 degrees counterclockwise, and each fill advances one step. These combined changes match option D and no other option.
