Aircraft Technical - Balance Ball - I just don't get it

27) You are turning left, and the balance ball is out to the right. What does this indicate?
A You have applied insufficient left rudder
B You are slipping into the turn
C You are skidding out of the turn
D A malfunction of the balance ball assembly
You chose B, but the correct answer was C.

Balance ball moves in the opposite direction to the turn - I thought. I turn left, balance ball is out to the right, must mean I'm slipping into the turn, i.e. yawing left too. Nope, you are skidding out of the term.

Why ? I get these questions wrong EVERY time.
