You need to see the pattern of the circles disappering
The second column has the circle disappear after turning, so the pattern must be the same for the row below it
Now we know there is no circle
Going down vertically, despite triangle leading to a star and the square leading to no star, the shield pattern is still present. As the third column has no shape, it's safe to assume that there is no star that could be present
Therefore, leading to just the shield shape remaining

And another pattern I see emerge is up and down in each column, though mentally one would be limited by rows if they think in this way... I don't, as well as diagonally there is always an open circle, in fact two, so what is missing on the diagonal of that missing pattern/figure is another open circle.
No I am not going to state my answer here though I have made my decision
First, there's no "thing that gets taken away" consistently. Within the first row, the square gets taken away and replaced by a triangle, then the triangle gets taken away and the circle remains. There is no consistent theme here.
Compare it with the third row: a star is added and nothing is taken away in the second figure. This makes the third row pattern different from the first. In the first row, something is taken away and replaced by something else, then something is taken away. In the third row, nothing is taken away but a star is added.
whatever shape doesn't change is what's left. In the first only the circle doesn't change, in the second only the inner circle (the gap in the outer circle changes) doesn't change, and in the third, only the cube
It isn't things that are being taken away, it is what they have in common. In the first row, the only thing that is common to the first two, is the circle. In the second row, the only thing common is the dot in the centre - although the circle with a break is common, it is rotated, so not the same. In the final row it is only the hexagon that is common to the first and second picture.
Im currious, you say the thing that changes always gets taken away at the end but what is the end? The right or left? and if the end is on the right, why can't it be the thing that is consistently there? In the first row the thick circle is always present, in the second row the dot is always present, so in the third row why can't the open circle be always present?
I see this is a mental exercise, if we think negatively something is taken away, but if we think positively something is always present. I haven't decided on my answer, I just scrolled and found that response interesting

Very bad design.

The answer is A :
- The thing that changes always get's taken away at the end -> this eliminate the posibilities BCD
now choosing from A E F :
- always there is a shape that does not change in a row -> only hexagon is possible -> A
