Does the tailplane and elevator moves in the same direction?

My first post here.i got a question:
In an aircraft with a flying tail as the pilot moves the control column:

B.the tailplane moves and the elevator moves in the same direction

i think is the opposite direction ,because as the leading edge of tailplane moves down ,the aircraft will pich up .this is the same effect as elevator moves up.

can someone help me please! Thanks in advance!
