Which option shows the given figure turned 90 degrees anticlockwise?

Correct answer: D. Arrow pointing down-left at top left; small solid triangle pointing down at centre; semicircle pointing up at middle right; small solid semicircle pointing left at middle left

  • A. Arrow pointing down-left at top left; small solid triangle pointing down at centre; semicircle pointing up at middle right; small solid semicircle pointing up at middle left
  • B. Arrow pointing up-left at bottom left; small solid triangle pointing up at centre; semicircle pointing down at middle right; small solid semicircle pointing left at middle left
  • C. Arrow pointing up-right at bottom right; small solid triangle pointing up at centre; semicircle pointing down at middle left; small solid semicircle pointing right at middle right
  • D. Arrow pointing down-left at top left; small solid triangle pointing down at centre; semicircle pointing up at middle right; small solid semicircle pointing left at middle left

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 has one element moved round with the turn but not turned itself. B is a water image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce. C is the figure turned through a quarter turn clockwise instead.
