The third pattern because you can divide 12 by the number of shapes in the sequence and start counting from the remainder.

In this case choice C has 5 shapes. 12/5 is 2, with a remainder of 2.

The second term in choice C is Circle, so choice C is the answer.

Of course, you can also list them all out.

If there is no remainder when you divide then the 12th term is the last term in the sequence.
