  • B. Small dot at top left; solid arrow pointing down at top right; small solid semicircle pointing up-right at bottom centre; arrow pointing up-left at middle right; small dot at top centre
  • C. Small dot at bottom right; solid arrow pointing up at bottom left; small solid semicircle pointing down-left at top centre; arrow pointing down-right at middle left; small dot at bottom centre

Explanation

Turning the whole figure through a quarter turn clockwise 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 C is the only one where every element has changed this way. A is a water image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce. B is the figure turned through a quarter turn anticlockwise instead. D has one element moved round with the turn but not turned itself.
