- A.
  
  Counter Clockwise
- B.
  
  Clockwise
- C.

Correct Answer

This is due to the Coriolis effect, an apparent force caused by the rotation of the Earth. The Coriolis effect causes moving objects, like water draining from a sink, to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, water tends to spiral in a clockwise direction as it goes down the drain.
