  • A(b)
  • B(c)
  • C(d)
  • D(e)

Step-by-Step Solution

The shaded half turns a quarter turn anticlockwise each time (right, top, left, bottom, right) and the colours repeat orange, blue, yellow. The third circle should therefore be yellow, but (c) is orange, so (c) is wrong. (d) and (e) start the colour cycle again: orange, then blue.
Answer: B) (c)
