  1. A
    Figure (A)
  2. B
    Figure (B)
  3. C
    Figure (C)
  4. D
    Figure (D)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace the positions of the symbols in a clockwise cyclic shifting order or corner-to-corner tracking from one frame to the next:
1. Movement of elements:
* Look at the star (): It starts at Top-Left (Box 1) moves to Top-Right (Box 2) moves to Bottom-Right (Box 3). Thus, in the next step, it must move to Bottom-Left.
* Look at the circle (): It starts at Top-Right (Box 1) moves to Bottom-Right (Box 2) moves to Bottom-Left (Box 3). Thus, in the next step, it must move to Top-Left.
* Look at the rectangle/bar: It starts at Bottom-Left (Box 1) moves to Top-Left (Box 2) moves to Top-Right (Box 3). Thus, in the next step, it must move to Bottom-Right.
* Look at the triangle (): It starts at Bottom-Right (Box 1) moves to Bottom-Left (Box 2) moves to Top-Left (Box 3). Thus, in the next step, it must move to Top-Right.

2. Final Positions for the missing figure:
* Top-Left: Circle ()
* Top-Right: Triangle ()
* Bottom-Left: Star ()
* Bottom-Right: Rectangle

This arrangement corresponds exactly with Figure (D).
