Simply put, the 3rd picture in each row is the equivalent of all the lines in the previous 2 pictures of the same row added together. However, whenever a line segment of the previous 2 pictures of the same row overlaps, said line gets "eliminated". The overlapping lines do not show up in the 3rd picture.

@All.
In the 1st column, there are 2 pins that are overlapping. One pin rotates 180° and then again 180.
In 2nd column, left pin rotates 90° clockwise and then that pin rotate again 90°.
Then 3rd column, 3 pin are there, left pin shift 90°. And then again it turns 90° that overlap on right side pin result in the answer A.
