An illustration shows an 11 by 10 grid that has 3 rectangles on it. Figure 1 covers the 2nd row in the 3rd through 6th columns, for a total of 4 units. Figure 2 covers the 2nd to 9th rows in the 9th and 10th columns, for a total of 16 units. Figure 3 covers the 4th to the 7th rows in the 4th and 5th columns, for a total of 8 units.

The correct response is:
Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3; all figures are rectangles.
While it is true that Figure 1 and Figure 3 are rectangular and one is larger than the other, the question asks for similarity, which in this case refers to the categorization of the figures as rectangles. All three figures are indeed rectangles, which satisfies the requirement for similarity in the context provided. The other options do not correctly identify the relationship based on geometric similarity.
