  • B(b)
  • C(c)
  • D(d)

Step-by-Step Solution

Moving right along a row, the orange cell steps one cell right and the blue circle one cell left; moving down a column, the orange cell steps one cell down and the circle one cell up, always wrapping round at the edges. So the last grid has the orange cell in the bottom-right corner and the circle in the bottom-left corner: (d). (b) swaps the two, (c) leaves the circle where it was and (a) puts the circle in the top row.
Answer: D) (d)
