4$\begingroup$ Is solving this puzzle part of your interview? Did you ask after the interview was finished, or did you ask us midway? What "rights" does the puzzle create reserve, per the footer? Do they allow you to post the question elsewhere? $\endgroup$– bobbleFeb 17 at 17:12

for blues, you will take
sum of blues with their right locations, two blues + one blue becomes three blues with right locations.
for other colors,
you will take the different resulting as green. for first one two green one red results 1 green, for the other one three green two red becomes one green and so on.
My guess is
First piece
Because
Blue squares in the last row are added
Red squares in the central row delete the greens ones
But
I'm not sure about the green squares in the center row
