Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) (i)
Explanation
From the visible tiles in Panel I, the row-wise black-dot counts appear to add up to 15 in each row. For example, the first row contributes $8+1+6=15$. Using the same pattern, the missing tile in the second row must contribute 7 black dots and the missing tile in the third row must contribute 2 black dots. According to the provided solution, only option (i) satisfies this requirement. Therefore, option (A) is correct. This answer is tentative because it depends on reading dot counts from the figure.
