									Answer:  Option C 
									Explanation:   3, 6, 9 are geometrical figures containing line segments (the number of these line segments is half the number of sides in the figure) parallel to the sides of the figure.
 1, 5, 8 consist of a circle and a triangle intersecting it. The triangle is also divided into two equal parts by a straight line.
 2, 4, 7 are all funnel shaped figures.
