Holy shit yo, I think the answer is 5. But my brain is doing so many complex maths right now that I don't even consciously comprehend. Feels god man.

The 1st and 2nd image in a row are overridden and if they have a line in the same position then it's deleted in the 3rd
In the first row, there is a line in the same position in both the first and second image. When merged, they result into empty dots
In the second row, the only common line between first and second image are the one that goes from top to left. The third image results in only that line missing
In the third row, the only common line would be again top to left
The pattern also works in columns
5
Its 5
Line + line = 0
Line + 0 = line
0 + line = 0+line
>>>print("hello world")
hello world

You can come up with adequate numerobabble to explain all the options.
The "correct" one is the one the maker of this problem had in mind.
Five right? If you labelled columns a to c and rows 1 to 3 then a1+a3=a2. If the same repeats for the other columns then and since c1 is empty then c3 is the same as c2
The correct one is the simplest pattern. All other solutions are probably overfitted.
