See the third circle of two illustrations and assume there are four direction around the circle ie, north, south, east, west.
In the first illustration the south direction is not using for both circle so, SOUTH direction of the third circle also left unused.
Similarly, WEST direction is unused for three circles in the second illustration.
Therefore for third illustration the answer might be the circle with WEST direction unused. So, the answer is option A.
In the first illustration the south direction is not using for both circle so, SOUTH direction of the third circle also left unused.
Similarly, WEST direction is unused for three circles in the second illustration.
Therefore for third illustration the answer might be the circle with WEST direction unused. So, the answer is option A.

If you consider columns.
The lines which are common in both the figures form the third one So. Option 1 has the common lines as the other two in column 3.

From the first row we see that the third picture is a composition of the first two.
For the second row, the same pattern follows on, but we remove the line that is common to both the pictures, which is the bottom one.
For the third row, there are no common pictures, so it's just a simple composition picture of the first two. Hence A.
