Answer

The direction of $~~d_1 \times \frac{d_2}{4}~~$ is in the positive direction of the z axis.

Work Step by Step

Vector $d_1$ is in the negative direction of a y axis. Vector $\frac{d_2}{4}$ is in the positive direction of an x axis. According to the right hand rule, the direction of $~~d_1 \times \frac{d_2}{4}~~$ is in the positive direction of the z axis.
