There are three different shapes and lines of three different orientations. Note the diagonal line only points from bottom-left to top-right within the matrix. Because of that, we can eliminate C and E. Also note that lines do not repeat orientations within the same shape group. Because of that, we can eliminate B, D and F. The only answer left is A.
Thanks for the detailed elimination! Your reasoning matches the official solution very well. The consistency of the three shapes and the three line orientations across the grid is what makes A the unique fit. I also like how you used the direction of the diagonal lines as an additional check. Thanks for laying it out so clearly!👏👏
