A Correct answer
Explanation

When gears are meshed in a row, adjacent gears rotate in opposite directions. Gear 1 (clockwise) drives gear 2 (counter-clockwise), which drives gear 3 (clockwise), then gear 4 (counter-clockwise), and finally gear 5 (clockwise). Odd-numbered positions rotate the same direction as gear 1.
