Which figure is the odd one out?

Question

I'm not sure if I should ask this question here, and under which tag so feel free to re-tag or redirect me to another site.

Anyway, which figure is the odd one out?

Answer 1

The real challenge in this kind of puzzle is to find a reason for selecting any one of the five as odd one out.

Here's a start. I'll mark this community wiki - feel free to contribute.

$A$ is the only one ...

• with three white squares.
• with a white square in the North-East position.
• with all squares on consecutive radii

$B$ is the only one ...

• with a sequence of four radii that do not terminate in a square of some kind.

$C$ is the only one ...

• without a black square on the horizontal line.
• without a white square in the top position.
• with a black square in the North-East position.
• with a white square in the bottom position.

$D$ is the only one ...

• with black squares separating the white squares and whites separating the blacks.
• with a black square in the bottom position.
• with a black square in the North-West position.
• with different-colored squares on opposing radii (white on top, black on bottom)

$E$ is the only one ...

• with just one white square.
• without a square on the "/" diagonal.

Answer 2

IMO C is the odd one.

What I have found, in every pattern if I consider the 2 black boxes then I can find the white box(es) within 180 degrees angular between the 2 black boxes and if I consider 2 white boxes I can find black box(es) within 180 degrees angular between the 2 white boxes.

In C, the location of the black box is such that it is not within the 180 degrees angular difference of the 2 white boxes.

Anyways the actual answer may differ but this is what I feel.
