PPL pressure change question

Can anyone explain the significance of 'starboard' in this question please? I thought, in the absence of any other weather conditions, you will always drift towards the low pressure area, regardless of if the drift is starboard or port.

Flying over the UK with starboard drift, at a constant indicated altitude and heading, without any updated QNH settings, would result in the aircraft being
Correct answer: C - lower than indicated on the altimeter.
