Solution

The correct option is B yes, horizontally
Due to the rotation of the turntable, a centrifugal force will act on the lower end of the rod on the left side. A centrifugal force will act on the top end of the rod in the right due to the rotation of the rod.
So, there will act a torque in the horizontal direction $(\to τ = \to r \times_{C})$
