I had to use colors to understand why. First, I drew three squares (1st for row 1, 2nd for row 2, third for row 3). Then, in each square I used a different color marker for the first two columns (I did brown for column 1 and yellow for column 2, but try primary colors so they'll make a secondary). The product is that the third column is made by whatever portion of the square was ONLY touched by ONE [primary] color.
I hope this helps.

There is no pattern!
Notice how the ones who got the alleged right answer "B" all have a different explanation meaning there is actually no pattern.
If there were an actual pattern their explanations would be the same (with different wording). But that is not the case and the people who are not seeing a pattern are correct.

Right @Name.
It took me awhile to get it. But again for each row, take the first picture in the column and place that picture on top of the second picture in the second column. Whatever lines "overlay/touch together" just delete the lines. Once the deletion takes place, you will have the figure for the third box.

The correct explanation is that for each row, see the 3rd and 2nd column; and find their intersection (i.e what is common between the two figures and you will get the figure in the first column as your answer.

Answer should be 1.
Rotate 1st box 2 time clockwise.
Rotate 2nd box 1 time clockwise.
Overlap these boxes we get third box in each two rows.
Then this process gives 1 answer for the third row.
Rotate 1st box 2 time clockwise.
Rotate 2nd box 1 time clockwise.
Overlap these boxes we get third box in each two rows.
Then this process gives 1 answer for the third row.

Add third row + first row and ignore the common line (or subtract the common line which overlaps each other).
In result, you'll get the pattern of the middle row.

When third box overlapped with second box, the common lines should be eliminated and then it comes the first box. So there is a pattern and answer would be B.

Overlap the third figure on the second figure and remove the common line you will get first on. So answer B will be the right answer.

Guys its very easy to understand like in every figure the line is sliding up and down (\/\ )in second (/\/) and 3rd also( /\/) this.

If you were to put the first and second figures in each row on top of each other, delete all parts that overlap.
