The hexomino that fits in the box is:

D

Because:

The four hexominos in the boxes are cube nets, i.e. they can be folded along the lines so that the squares form the faces of a cube. D is the only one of the choices that is also a cube net.

C

Because:

imagine a grid on each hexamino going from a:1 in the top left corner to c:5 in the bottom right (or f:6, but since there's nothing beyond c line or the 5 line, we won't need it.) Every hexomino in the example has 3 cells in common, a:3, b3 and b4. Of the 3 choices presented, only C satifies this rule.

Here's a picture:

upon actually editing I realised they aren't as aligned as appears at a glance, but here it is:

I'm joking, of course, Wu33o's answer "clicks", in a way this one does not, but you might want to eliminate the ambiguity if it's for anything offcicial.

  • $\begingroup$ Ok, your reason is acceptable. To make the test official I have to spin C, to avoid double interpretation. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:59
