$(d)$ Following Fleming's left hand rule, proton initially rotates clockwise and it enters region $y > 0$ with its velocity in positive $y$-direction.

Here in region $y > 0$, magnetic field is into plane of paper. So, proton again follows left hand rule and now tend to rotate anti-clockwise as shown below.
