5 or 9, neither of which show up otherwise, so we can't be quite sure which one matches.

1, 4, and 7 can be thrown right out as the dots just wouldn't line up that way. 0, 2, 3, 6, and 8 have other examples in the image that don't match the dot pattern.

    2 could match if the digit in question is missing dots within the visible columns, and 3 could match if the existing example is missing a leftmost column.

    2 doesn't match because the top leftmost dot shouldn't be there. If it's shifted by a column, then the bottom leftmost dot shouldn't be there, and the spacing isn't quite right, either.

    3 doesn't match because the other example of a 3 doesn't have a dot in the bottom leftmost dot that's printed.

    Or the whole thing is a misprint, in which case I don't think we can even figure it out.
