The figure shows the electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ of an $EM$ wave at a certain point and a certain instant. The wave is transporting energy in the negative $z$ direction ($-z$ direction). What is the direction of the magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ of the wave at that point and instant?

  • A
    Towards $+x$ direction
  • B
    Towards $-x$ direction
  • C
    Towards $+z$ direction
  • D
    Towards $-z$ direction
