Select the figure from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

From the first to the second figure, second to the third figure, third to the fourth figure, and fourth to the fifth figure, the arrow moved one step in the clockwise direction in each case.

Similarly, from the fifth to the sixth figure, the arrow will move one step in the clockwise direction.

By this options (a) and (c) can be eliminated.

From the first to the third figure, the shape was moved $$90^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction.

From the third to the fifth figure, the shape was moved $$90^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction.

Similarly, from the second to the fourth figure, the shape was moved $$90^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction.

In the same way, from the fourth to the sixth figure, the shape will move $$90^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction.

By this option (d) can be eliminated.

Hence option (b) will come in place of the question mark.
