Solution

The correct option is A The vertical lines are oriented away from you and the horizontal lines are oriented toward you.
In a Fischer Projection Formula
(Refer to Image 1)
(Refer to Image 2) $⟶$ group towards viewer
(Refer to Image 3) $⟶$ group away from viewer.
So, in the above example $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$ are towards the viewer and $H_{3}$ and $H_{4}$ are away from viewer.
wedge is at horizontal position
desh is at vertical position
So, vertical lines are oriented away from us and horizontal lines are oriented towards us.
