\mathrm{\boldsymbol{F}=-q(\boldsymbol{v} \times \mathbf{B})} . The direction of \mathrm{(\boldsymbol{v} \times \mathbf{B})} is out of the page. Since \mathrm{-(v \times \mathbf{B})=(\mathbf{B} \times v)} we have
\mathrm{ \mathbf{F}=q(\mathbf{B} \times \boldsymbol{v}) }
The direction of \mathrm{ (\mathbf{B} \times \boldsymbol{v}) }  is into the page. So the correct choice is (d).
