  • D(c)

Step-by-Step Solution

The counter makes knight-like L-jumps that take turns: 1 down and 2 right, then 2 down and 1 right, and so on (the jump into row 1, column 2 came back in over the edges). The last jump was 2 down, 1 right, so the next is 1 down, 2 right: from row 3, column 3 to row 4, column 5, which comes back in at column 1 — the bottom-left corner, (d). (a) repeats the last jump, (b) stops at the edge instead of coming back in, and (c) jumps the wrong way.
