Step-by-Step Solution

The arrow moves right along the top row to the corner. It cannot go further right, so it turns clockwise to face down (fourth board). Now the cell below is free, so it moves down one cell, still facing down: (c). (a) turns again instead of moving, (b) moves but faces right, and (d) moves diagonally.
