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

No @Mayank.
Anode +ve.
Cathode -ve.
Anode +ve.
Cathode -ve.

@Neard.
Arrow is in p-type, line(ring) is in n-type.
So answer C is right.
I think you are right.

Normally the arrow indicates the direction of current flowing from anode to cathode.

The electrons move flow from the anode to the cathode, so naturally, current will be from CATHODE to ANODE, the same direction shown by the arrow.

Flow of charge is from +ve to -ve. Thus answer C is correct.

Pointing towards the cathode.

Point to n type material that is direction of current.

Arrow points to n type cathode (-ve).

According to basic symbolic representation of diode the arrow show the direction from anode to cathode & from N to P side.
