Do you watch any pro sports on television?

Occasionally.

The reason A is better is because if I were going to put that at my door, I'd want the plate and the word home to be facing me

But that's the way it looks when you are on it! How else would you imagine it?

Plus you would have the flat side at the door, which is completely logical, and the word in a place where you would naturally be expected to read it.

A is the obvious answer.

that's still the one I would choose. becauyse that's the way it would look when you're standing there.

Watching professional sports would not make anyone an expert on this. Specifically if those sports are wrestling or soccer or tennis or golf or hockey or basketball or really most thing expect baseball.

I pick A for the same reason as twidle but I would want d because I love a little house. Clearly I am not the target audience (read above)

I like D because it seems totally impractical.

d - it looks like a house. ;)

Occasionally I will watch sports no tv so I answered Nah. It was in between.

I liked D because if it was an actual door mat and you put it at your door, it would be pointing at the door saying home, like an arrow. I picture some crazy computerized voice saying "Home, enter here!" or something. Now, if you used B or C it would say home was one of your neighbors houses or in the next state even! If you used A then it would be pointing away saying home is anywhere BUT here.

Yeah, I think about stuff way to much sometimes. :P
