The "?" is "Composite".

In row 1, an object can be viewed as a composite.
In row 2, an object can be viewed as an abstraction.
In row 3, an atomic object can be viewed as an object.

I.e. in general, the concept in column "1" can be viewed as an
instance of the concept in column ">=1". So there is no need to write
"Object or Abstraction" here.
