- D. Solid semicircle pointing down at bottom right; small triangle pointing down at top right; half-shaded circle, shaded down at middle right; small semicircle pointing up at top centre
Explanation
Turning the whole figure through a quarter turn anticlockwise moves every element round the centre by the same amount and turns each element with it, so the figure keeps its shape; only its orientation changes. Option D is the only one where every element has changed this way. A is the figure turned through a quarter turn clockwise instead. B has one element moved round with the turn but not turned itself. C is a water image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce.
