### Vector Direction Exercise

**Problem:**
For the vectors **C** and **D** shown at the right, the difference vector **D - C** points in the direction:

- ⊙ up and to the left
- ⊙ down and to the right
- ⊙ up and to the right
- ⊙ down and to the left

**Explanation of Diagram:**

The diagram accompanying the problem shows two vectors:
- **C**: Points upwards.
- **D**: Points to the left.

When subtracting vector **C** from vector **D** (i.e., **D - C**), the resultant vector points in the direction from the tip of vector **C** to the tip of vector **D**. This means the resultant vector will point diagonally down and to the left.
