Look at the shape of the point groups.
H
All of these point groups have a square shape. Only in two of the choices, H and J, are the points arranged to form a square. In the given pattern the number of rows and columns increase by 1 from one group to the next, so we choose the 4 by 4 group to follow the 3 by 3 arrangement as the next item in the pattern.
Our answer is H. Note that with this pattern choice J would be the next item after H.
