Question

multiple-choice question
why is it called \counter-clockwise?\
the rotation goes the opposite direction than the hands of a clock
it goes the same direction as the hands of a clock

Explanation:

To determine why it's called "counter - clockwise", we analyze the meaning of the term. "Counter" implies opposite. Clock hands move in a clockwise direction, so counter - clockwise should be the opposite direction of clock hands' movement. The first option states that the rotation goes the opposite direction than the hands of a clock, which matches the definition of counter - clockwise. The second option is incorrect as moving in the same direction as clock hands is clockwise, not counter - clockwise.

Answer:

A. The rotation goes the opposite direction than the hands of a clock
