again, and so forth. since it moved two places between the fourth and fifth figures, in the next figure it should move one place clockwise. thus, the correct answer must include a black dot in the bottom left corner. this leaves us with three options: b, c, and d.
the white dot shifts between the corners of the inner square in a clockwise direction, moving one place at a time. thus, in the next figure, it should move to the bottom right corner. of the three options left, option c is the only one to follow this pattern. thus, option c must be the correct answer, and we do not need
