Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the changing components step-by-step from one box to the next:
1. Positions of letters 'I' and 'C':
* Box I: is on the left, is on the right.
* Box II: is on the left, is on the right (Interchanged).
* Box III: is on the left, is on the right (Interchanged).
* Box IV: is on the left, is on the right (Interchanged).
* Box V: is on the left, is on the right (Interchanged).
Following this, in Box VI, * must be on the left and must be on the right.
2. The brackets enclosing the arrow:**
* Box I: Normal brackets
* Box II: Inverted brackets
* Box III: Normal brackets
* Box IV: Inverted brackets
* Box V: Normal brackets
Following this alternation, Box VI must have *inverted brackets .
3. Direction of the arrow:**
* Box I: Upward
* Box II: Upward
* Box III: Downward
* Box IV: Downward
* Box V: Upward
The pattern for the arrow direction is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Up... Therefore, Box VI must have an *upward arrow **.
Combining all three conditions for Box VI:
* Left letter: , Right letter:
* Bracket and arrow:
This matches option D.
