Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a left-to-right line diagram like this one, position is read purely from the order the points are drawn in — not from the direction each point's individual arrow faces.
Application: The diagram lays the points out in this order from left to right:
The order is G, B, C, D, E, F, A. Reading everything that comes before C in this sequence gives the points to its left.
Cross-check: Everything after C — D, E, F and A — lies on the right side instead. G, B, C, D, E, F, A together make up all seven points, which confirms G and B are exactly the points to the left of C.
