Select the figure from the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.

From the first to second, second to third, and third to fourth box, the arrow moved $$45^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction. Similarly from the fourth to the fifth box arrow will move $$45^{\circ\ }$$ in the clockwise direction. By this options (c) and (d) can be eliminated. Because the required shape of the arrow is not available.

From one box to another 'L' shape moved 0.5 steps in the clockwise direction with vertical rotation. By this option (b) can be eliminated. Because 'L' shape movement does not follow the above-given logic.

Hence (a) will come in place of the question mark.
