• A. Black square
• B. White circle
• C. Black circle
• D. White square

Answer: (D)

The pattern uses the same shape every time and alternates color with each step. Starting with a black square, the sequence goes black, white, black, white, black, so the next one should be white while staying a square. A white square is the only option that keeps the shape and the alternating color pattern.
