A1 and 2
B2 and 3
C1, 2 and 3
DOnly 3

Explanation

The nine figures divide into three natural classes: figures 1, 5 and 8 are open figures; figures 2, 3 and 9 are closed figures with internal divisions; and figures 4, 6 and 7 are closed figures with a tail. Group 1 (1, 7, 8) mixes an open figure, a tailed figure and an open figure; group 2 (4, 5, 6) mixes tailed and open figures; only group 3 (2, 3, 9) is uniform. Hence only group 3 fits into the same class. Note: the figures are not available in the dataset and published keys disagree on this item, so the key is disputed.
