A clockwise rotating propeller generates a slipstream that typically induces specific aerodynamic effects on the aircraft. When observing the effects of a clockwise rotation, one important phenomenon is the "P-factor," which occurs during climb. The descending blade, moving faster through the air, generates more lift compared to the ascending blade, which has a slower relative velocity. This differential thrust results in a yawing motion to the left around the vertical axis.

Additionally, the airflow from the slipstream interacts with the tail surfaces, specifically the horizontal stabilizer, creating a force that pitches the nose of the airplane to the right around the longitudinal axis. This combined effect means that the aircraft tends to rotate left around the vertical axis (causing a left yaw) and right around the longitudinal axis (causing a right roll).

Therefore, the correct answer reflects this understanding of aerodynamic forces acting on an airplane with a clockwise rotating propeller, showing the resulting movements accurately.
