Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Examine the pattern carefully:
   - The figure consists of a large square containing an inner shape with a cut-out portion.

2. Identify the transformation:
   - The inner shape appears to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees in each successive figure.
   - The cut-out section moves accordingly with the rotation.

3. Predict the next figure:
   - The next figure should show the inner shape rotated an additional 90 degrees clockwise from its current orientation.

4. Evaluate the options:
   - Option 1 does not show the correct rotation.
   - Option 2 correctly depicts the inner shape rotated 90 degrees clockwise with the cut-out in the right place.
   - Options 3 and 4 do not follow the rotation pattern.

**Answer:** Option 2
