Step-by-Step Solution

The arrow jumps 3 outer cells clockwise each time: top-left, middle-right, bottom-left, top-middle. Three more cells clockwise brings it to the bottom-right corner. In every grid it points at the centre cell, so at the bottom-right it points up-left: (d). (b) is in the right cell but points away from the centre, (c) moves anticlockwise and (a) jumps 4 cells.
