On the left, it's ok. You cut with an angle to avoid water to flow toward the bud. The lowest point of cut is just above the bottom of the bud.
On the center, it's too far from the bud : the part above it will rot.
On the right, it's too close to the bud (lowest point of cut is below the point of junction between the bud and the stem) : it will inhibit its growth.
