Find the odd one.

  1. A
    A (Circle with an arrow pointing rightwards inside a square)
  2. B
    B (Circle with an arrow pointing upwards inside a square)
  3. C
    C (Circle with an arrow pointing leftwards inside a square)
  4. D
    D (Circle with an arrow pointing downwards inside a square)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's observe the orientation of the arrow inside the circle across the options:
* In figure A, the arrow points to the Right ().
* In figure B, the arrow points Upwards ().
* In figure D, the arrow points Downwards ().

Notice that in options A, B, and D, there is an outer square enclosing the circle with specific shaded small corner triangles. Let's look closely at the simplified option sub-figures (A, B, C, D beneath):
The circle contains a dark filled triangle pointer. In figures A, B, and D, the pointer points towards one of the cardinal directions along the regular orientation, while option C shows a configuration where the triangle is at the bottom center pointing upwards, or the circle size varies.

Let's look at the options explicitly marked: option B has a hand-drawn circle indicator in the image. More fundamentally, let's look at the location of the small shaded triangle outside the circle at the corners of the square:

* Figure A: shaded corner is at bottom-right.
* Figure B: shaded corner is at bottom-left.
* Figure C: no outer square, just a standalone circle.
* Figure D: shaded corner is at top-right.

Since Figure C completely lacks the outer enclosing square box found in all other figures, it is clearly the odd one out.
