$\begingroup$ Obviously the puzzle is full of colors. I did not think of "color blind" solvers. I apologize. Is there something I can do for that? $\endgroup$– DrDCommented Dec 30, 2020 at 13:41

2$\begingroup$ @Ak. I appreciate your bounty. But I'm ok with ducvu getting the check. He did after all figure out that the last row was chemical elements. But thanks anyways :) $\endgroup$– Prim3numbahCommented Jan 3, 2021 at 18:36

Credits to @Prim3numbah for
aptly enough, finding out the sequence is prime

$\begingroup$ Even though you borrowed heavily from PrimeNumbah's answer that graph is very pretty to look at +1. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 30, 2020 at 23:25

I believe the answer is
Option E
Because
First to notice is that the first two columns color are added and make the color in the 3rd column. Yellow + Red = Orange, Yellow + blue = Green, [Red] + blue = Purple. So we're looking for a red figure. Second to notice is that these are the prime numbers! from 2-13 (note, upside down roman numeral, V) , reading from left to right row for row.. So one might think the missing figure should resemble the number seventeen and that the two next entries should represent 19 and 23 but there is no resemblance. Now, here's where the non-sensa part come in, I believe. The last row could be obtained by converting the number above to it's corresponding letter and then rotate this shape/letter 180 degrees in comparison to the figure above (note that two lines of each letter is missing). In that case we get a "G" by adding two more lines.

I think the answer is
D aka the yellow diagonal [|
Reasoning (color):
I couldn't help but notice that the 2nd collumn has 2 colors, and the 3rd has 3 colors. D fits this. Further, each row has 3 different colors. A, D or E fit here
Reasoning (shape):
If you count how many edge midpoints and corner points are contained in each picture, you get {4,4,3},{2,4,5},{__,4,3}. Row 1 & 2 add up to 11. A, C, or D fits here.
D is the only one that fits in all these patterns.
