Step-by-Step Solution:

STEP 1: Analyze Figure A
- Outer shape: Circle (can be considered as infinite or 0 sides)
- Inner shape: Diamond (4 sides)

STEP 2: Analyze Figure B
- Outer shape: Hexagon (6 sides)
- Inner shape: Circle (infinite sides)

STEP 3: Identify the Pattern
Looking at the progression:
- A: Outer Circle (∞), Inner Diamond (4)
- B: Outer Hexagon (6), Inner Circle (∞)

The transformation swaps and transforms side counts:
- The inner shape's side count (4) becomes part of the new outer shape
- The pattern shows: 4 → 6 → 8 (increasing by 2 each time)
- Circle (∞) acts as a placeholder that transforms to the next polygon in sequence

STEP 4: Analyze Figure C
- Outer shape: Hexagon (6 sides)
- Inner shape: Diamond (4 sides)

STEP 5: Apply Pattern to C
Following the established pattern:
- The inner diamond has 4 sides → following the 4→6→8 progression, this contributes to the new outer shape
- The outer hexagon has 6 sides → this becomes the new inner shape's side count
- Therefore: New outer = Octagon (8 sides), New inner = Hexagon (6 sides)

STEP 6: Verify Pattern Consistency
- A: Circle (∞) + Diamond (4) → B: Hexagon (6) + Circle (∞)
- C: Hexagon (6) + Diamond (4) → ?: Octagon (8) + Hexagon (6)
- The pattern shows that the inner shape's side count determines the progression of the outer shape

Answer: Octagon (8 sides) with hexagon (6 sides) inside

Key Insight: This problem tests recognition of progressive relationships where shapes evolve based on their side counts, with circle acting as a special case that transforms to the next polygon in the sequence.
