In the upper left box, the image shows a black square. In the upper right box, the image shows the same square, but in white color. The lower left box shows a black circle.
Which answer choice would go with this image in the same way as the upper images go together?
The image of the answer choice must show a circle but in white color, following the same logic of the upper shapes.
