Lines in one: horizontal, horizontal, diagonal

Lines in two: diagonal, diagonal, horizontal

Lines in three: horizontal, horizontal, (diagonal)

Only 3 shapes used. Therefore A is the correct answer.

Problem with IQ tests is the answer is based upon the test creators' viewpoint without consideration made for equally valid alternative solutions.

Thanks for your alternative solution.

Referring to row 1, there is a vertical line in addition to the horizontal.

For row 3, even if the rules you suggested were more accurate than the existing rules, there would need to be an available solution with an ellipse and a diagonal line. The only close solution to that is 'D', however that solution also features a circle.

Why can't it be E?

It can't be 'E' because of rule 2:

Col1 lines - col2 lines = col3 lines (orientation of lines is not important)

It’s basically just a normal type of solving but the third image on each row is raised by 1, like the square which has been raised 1 higher than its counterparts and the circle with the same. We can thé conclude that the oval moved up one, but since it’s at the top, it would wrong warp down to the bottom

Makes no sense. Three of each shape and two always the same. Should be E but the location within the box is not quite right.
