The explanation of this question relies heavily on the visual patterns or sequence observed in the given figures. Since the figures are not provided here, I can only explain a generic approach to such questions.

If the correct answer was "1" - Option `A`, it was probably because Option `A` had elements or patterns that were in sync with the preceding figures` patterning. The pattern could perhaps be changing shapes, color, orientation, increase or decrease in the number of elements, or another visually identifiable pattern.

Options `B`, `C`, and `D` were likely not following the logical sequence or pattern observed in the previous figures. This could be due to contrasting elements, mismatches in the count of items or different shapes, colors, sizes, etc.

In visual pattern questions, the key is to identify the consistent pattern or rule applied to the sequence of images. Once you understand the rule, it becomes easier to predict the next figure in the series.
