@All
The given answer Option C is correct. No doubt in that.
In problem figure (E), take the top right image like 'Z' and flip it vertically. You will get the image same as in the bottom left image of answer figures 3 and 4.
From this info we surely tell that answer should be the answer figure either 3 or 4.
Not we can eliminate answer figure 4. Because, if the upper right element is 'S' then bottom left image should be like '↑' (you can verify it from problem figure-A).
Therefore Option C (Answer figure-3) is the correct answer.
I hope this explanation may help you. Have a nice day!

I think what you meant in the explanation is that it "inverts horizontally", not vertically - then this explanation makes sense.
