Select the figure that will come next in the following series.

Arrow movement :: From first to second diagram, arrow moved 180$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction. From second to third diagram, arrow moved 90$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction. From third to fourth diagram, arrow moved 180$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction. Similarly, from fourth to fifth diagram, arrow moved 90$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the anticlockwise direction.

By this option (b) and (d) can be eliminated.

Line movement :: From first to second diagram, line moved 180$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction. From second to third diagram, line moved 90$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction. From third to fourth diagram, line moved 180$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction. Similarly, from fourth to fifth diagram, line moved 90$$^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction.

By this option (c) can be eliminated.

Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
