When describing a rotation, which of the following directions is applicable for a rotation?

A. up
B. down
C. Right
D. counterclockwise

1 answer

When describing a rotation, the applicable direction is:

D. counterclockwise

While "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" are commonly used to describe rotations in a plane, "up" and "down" may refer to movements in three-dimensional space rather than purely rotational directions. "Right" can imply a direction but is less precise for describing a rotational movement compared to "counterclockwise."
