b. There is no heading autopilot maintenance mode engaged and the aircraft heading is wandering left and right, but with a general trend to the left which reduces with time during the flight.
The team may correct me but I think that with a serviceable 777 autopilot engaged you're always going to have some form of "firm", non random non wandering lateral mode, even if it's as basic as some variation of attitude hold.
