B looks closest ...

move tail of down pointing vector to tail of other one and make a parallelogram ... join junctions of first tails to final arrowheads ...


Or

join tail of right hand vector to tip of left hand vector to get two sides of a vector triangle.

then join tail of left hand vector to tip of right vector for third side of triangle and the resultant.


either way should work, both give same answer

Vector 'a' is made out of some 'up' and some 'right'.

Vector 'b' cancels most or all of the 'up' part of 'a', leaving only the 'right' part and maybe a slight bit of 'up'.

The only choice that is mostly 'right' with maybe a slight bit of 'up' is choice-B.

Choice-A has too much 'up' in it.

Choices C and D both have some 'left' in them. They couldn't get any 'left' from 'a' or 'b'.
