If a 2x2 grid A B / C D is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, which letter appears in the top-left cell?

Rotating a square 90 degrees clockwise moves each position to the next corner in a clockwise cycle: top-left goes to top-right, top-right goes to bottom-right, bottom-right goes to bottom-left, and bottom-left goes to top-left. In the original grid, the bottom-left cell contains the letter C. Since that position moves to the top-left after the rotation, the top-left cell ends up being C. The rotated arrangement would look like: C A D B So the letter in the top-left cell after rotation is C.
