The puzzle in the image shows a square divided into triangular sections radiating from a central circle. Each triangular section has a unique pattern of lines, and one triangular section is missing. The task is to determine which option (A, B, C, or D) correctly completes the missing part of the figure.

Pattern Analysis:

• There are alternating solid and striped areas.
• The patterns in the triangles alternate between a solid white and lined patterns.
• The center circle also has stripes, and the section directly opposite the striped section (bottom-left) is white.

Elimination of Choices:

1. Option A: This triangle has a slanted set of lines that match the pattern seen in the opposite diagonal section.
2. Option B: This has a solid section with no pattern, which would make it identical to the top right, but the missing section must contain lines for alternation.
3. Option C: This triangle has vertical lines, similar to the pattern in the left section but oriented in the wrong direction.
4. Option D: This is a completely blank triangle with no lines, so it doesn't fit the alternating pattern.

Conclusion:

The correct answer is Option A as it aligns with the alternating pattern and the orientation of the lines matches.
