It is the 5th one All we have here is the numbers written in the right side of the square with the lines overlapping the box
Pattern puzzles like this aren't the best because there can be so many answers. For example, I say that none of the supplied choices are the next item.
For one thing, the color pattern is clearly going to repeat red, yellow, blue, green, so the next square should be red, but all the choices are yellow! Also, the squares in the odd positions all should have just one line, with one endpoint at the center of the square. Again, none of the choices match this! The single line is just a simple rotation of 45 degrees clockwise, so the next square should be a red square with a line from the center to the bottom right corner.
Now, I can think of two different options for the square after that. Keeping with the color pattern, it will be yellow. One way to go from the second square to the fourth is to rotate the line that is furthest clockwise 135 degrees counterclockwise. If that's the case, the 6th square will have two lines from the center of the square to the two top corners. The other way could be to rotate the furthest clockwise line 90 degrees counterclockwise, and the other line only 45 degrees counterclockwise. If that's the case, the 6th square will have just one line from the center to the top of the square.
I believe the answer is number 4.
Box 4 is a combination of boxes 1 and 3. The fifth box should be a combination of boxes 2 and 4.
Hence the fifth box is to be filled with answer 4.
This also explains the lack of a discernible pattern to boxes 1 through 3.
