No, diode has conventional current flow (positive to negative). But as per the symbol, cathode has -Ve anode has +Very. Listen the quest carefully.

Yes, B is the correct answer.

"The arrow in the schematic symbol of a diode POINTS TO".
This statement asks where the arrow POINTS TO, not what it represents and obviously, it points to the bar which represents the cathode.
The answer must be B.
I think it will be C if "points to" becomes "represents to".

Here points mean define or represent not direction so;
Bar points(represent) - N type(-) lower potential or cathode.
Arrow points (represent)-P type(+) higher potential or anode.
And current always flows from (+)or higher potential to (-) or lower potential i.e Anode to cathode.

Anode always positive.
The cathode is negative so p type conductor is anode because it flows +ive to -ive.
