Answer

Reasoning
The shapes are the spaces between the digits in the numbers 27, 28, 29, and 30, therefore C is the correct answer, as it is the space between the digits in the number 31.

Hint
Look at the number of sides of each of the shapes.
Answer
Square.
Reasoning
Square the first shape's sides, and the remaining shapes add up to this number.
triangle (3 x 3) = pentagon (5) + square (4)
square (4 x 4) = hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + square (4)
pentagon (5 x 5) = hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + hexagon (6) + square (4) + triangle (3)
Therefore:
hexagon (6 x 6) = octagon (8) + octagon (8) + octagon (8) + octagon (8) + square (4)
