Correct answer: B

The arrow turns 135° anticlockwise each time: down-left, right, up-left, down, so next it points up-right.
Figure 2 shows an arrow pointing up-right.

Worth noting

Track one element at a time across all four boxes, and check each option against every rule; each wrong figure here breaks exactly one of them.
