Which diagram correctly displays the point $P$P with a compass bearing between $N$N and $W$W from the point $O$O.

A compass rose has the cardinal directions labeled as $N$N, $E$E, $S$S and $W$W. The upward-pointing arrow is labeled $N$N. The downward-pointing arrow is labeled $S$S. The right-pointing arrow is labeled $E$E. The left-pointing arrow is labeled $W$W. The center of the compass rose is marked with point $O$O. A blue line segment $OP$OP extends from point $O$O toward the quadrant between $N$N and $W$W. Point $P$P is marked with a black dot. The angle between the upward-pointing arrow and the line segment $OP$OP is marked with a blue-shaded arc.
