  1. Column half
  2. Column right
  3. Incline ✔

Why: Column half makes an exact 45-degree direction change. An incline handles a smaller adjustment as the formation follows the guide or base element leader.

Huh, didn't know that: Column Half Right or Left can be performed while marching or from a halt.
