Answer: Tile ‘A’ should replace the question mark. To produce the third column or third row, you need to retain the lines that overlap when the first and second images are superimposed. Flip the result along the x-axis to produce the final image.

Applying this logic to the third row, the first and second large squares both contain the horizontal line and the dot on the upper right side. When these features are flipped along the x-axis, ‘A’ is produced.
