On the left picture its the far right on the middle row which has to be switched with the middle box in the bottom row in the right picture. (f and 8)

or

On the left picture its the middle box in the bottom row which has to be switched with the far right box on the middle row in the right picture. (h and 6)

because

The boxes have to be the same from top right to bottom left enter image description here

but if you want to get just ONE answer

I'll go with the blue circled one

because

Then there are always exactly two rows with rectangles in each of the boxes. Otherwise it would be "more" odd if on side had 3 rows with boxes including rectangles and the other just 1 row.

  • $\begingroup$ Great! Your red option is actually what I intended being the correct answer, mostly based on how the inner figures is rotated around the center origin of the figures going from left to right and from top to bottom. $\endgroup$
