Detailed Solution & Explanation

At 6:00 PM, the hour hand points to the 6 mark (normally South).
Since it points East, this represents a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counterclockwise rotation.
At 9:30 PM, the minute hand points to the 6 mark (normally South).
Applying the 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counterclockwise rotation to South yields:
Minute Hand Direction=East\text{Minute Hand Direction} = \text{East}
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
