Show the answer
Option 3 is the original figure turned a half turn.
How to solve it
- Pick a landmark: the marked cell or the end of the longest arm.
- Turn the figure in your head and watch where that landmark goes, and which side the other cells end up on.
- Turning the figure a half turn gives option 3.
- Each of the other options is a mirror image: flipping it over would match, but no turn does.
