Which of the following is true for the determination of the rotational effect of the bearings?

A. If we are considering the clockwise direction to be positive then the rotation along the counter clockwise direction is negative
B. If we are considering the clockwise direction to be negative then the rotation along the counter clockwise direction is also negative as no such assumptions can be taken
C. If we are considering the clockwise direction to be positive then the rotation along the counter clockwise direction is also positive as no such assumptions can be taken
D. If we are considering the clockwise direction to be negative then the rotation along the counter clockwise direction is neither positive nor negative as we only pre assumed the clockwise direction
