### Magnetic Force on a Proton in a Magnetic Field

#### Problem Statement
"A permanent magnet has field lines as shown below. A proton moves to the right at point B. The direction of the magnetic force on the proton is best represented by"

#### Diagram Description
The diagram consists of the following:

1. **Magnetic Field Lines:**
    - The magnetic field originates at the North (N) pole and terminates at the South (S) pole.
    - The field lines arc around from the North pole to the South pole.
    - There are specific points marked A, B, C, and D, and each point has its respective field lines passing through them.

2. **Directions of Force:**
    - Below the main diagram, there are arrows indicating different possible directions for the magnetic force:
      1. To the left
      2. To the right
      3. Downwards
      4. Upwards
      5. Zero
      6. None of these

3. **Multiple-choice Options:**
    - The options range from 1 to 6, corresponding to the directions indicated by the arrows.

#### Question
- "A proton moves to the right at point B. The direction of the magnetic force on the proton is best represented by:"
    - 1. Left
    - 2. Right
    - 3. Down
    - 4. Up
    - 5. Zero
    - 6. None of these

#### Explanation
The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a moving positively charged particle, like a proton, in a magnetic field:
1. Point your right thumb in the direction of the proton's velocity (to the right at point B).
2. Point your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field lines at point B (which, according to the diagram, would be coming out of the North pole towards the South pole).
3. Your palm will face in the direction of the force exerted on the proton.

In the given situation, by analyzing the diagram and following the right-hand rule, the correct direction of the magnetic force at point B can be determined.

Select the best representation option from the multiple choices given.

#### Answer
Identify the correct answer from the choices based on the right-hand rule application and diagram analysis.
