Which Figure Completes the Pattern?

Explanation

The pattern can be solved by observing two simultaneous rules: 1. Moving from left to right, one black square disappears in each step. Within a row, the black area gradually shrinks as specific black squares turn white. 2. Moving from top to bottom, one black square is added in each step. The added black squares extend the central vertical structure downward. Therefore, the missing figure must: * Keep the black section in the upper-right area, * Continue the central black structure, * Include the additional black square at the bottom center, * Maintain the white squares on the left side. Only Option F satisfies all of these conditions. Final Answer: F
