Question ?

What is the answer to the above question?
To find this out, first we must wait to see what question is being asked.
If the question is; "What comes next?" - both "A." or "B." would work.
If the question is; "How many items are shown?" - "C." could work but the answer could also be "3" (The hidden items NOT being assumed to be wholly different items.).

I'm not as militant as FreeMan,
I seek true knowledge wherever I can find it.
I don't wish to make the same mistakes as Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.
(What's the point of starting from scratch?)
But in giving help, don't assume to know answers to questions that are not being asked.
