In the first row, in the first and second figure, the line segment is not overlapping thus the additional line is formed likewise in the second figure there is an overlapping between the line segments thus one line facing the bottom is removed. In a similar way in third figure there is no overlapping of the line segment thus it is added hence option is A.

In a simple way it is the addition of lines.
1st+2nd=3rd.
Note: if the two lines from the 1st and 2nd box get collapses then the line gets substracted in 3rd box (i.e. In the 2nd row).
1st+2nd=3rd.
Note: if the two lines from the 1st and 2nd box get collapses then the line gets substracted in 3rd box (i.e. In the 2nd row).

In each row,
After combining the 1st and 2nd figures, exclude the common line segments and copy the rest.
In the 1st row, there is not any common line segments. So all the line segments are combined.
In the 2nd row, south faced line segment is common. So, to exclude the south faced common line segment and copy the rest.
In the 3rd row, after combining the two figures, there is no common lines to exclude, so copy the rest.
