Study the given figures carefully and choose an option from the answer figures that maintains the pattern observed in the problem figures.

Let's track the movement of symbols across the boxes in the sequence I to V to determine the rule for the next frame (VI):
The figures consist of four symbols: Circle ($\circ$), Triangle ($\Delta$), Equals ($=$), and Cross ($\times$).

Let's look at the movement step-by-step:

* From Box I to II: The symbols rotate positions.
* Specifically, looking at the corner shifts from IV to V and then V to VI:
The pattern of symbols moving between positions alternates or follows a specific cyclic pattern.
* Let's trace a specific clear indicator: In figure V, we have $\Delta$ in the top right, $\circ$ in the center-right, $=$ at the bottom-left, $\times$ at the bottom-right corner.
* Following the established transformation rule from the options:
In option (C), the positions match the next correct configuration in the sequence where the cross ($\times$) moves to the top right corner, triangle ($\Delta$) moves to the center-right, the circle ($\circ$) is at the bottom left corner, and equals ($=$) takes the bottom-middle/left side.

This arrangement is perfectly satisfied by Option C.
