Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: South-West
Explanation:
Start facing West.
Turn 45° clockwise → now facing Northwest.
Turn 180° clockwise → now facing Southeast (the opposite of Northwest).
Turn 270° anticlockwise. Note that 270° anticlockwise equals 90° clockwise, so from Southeast you move to Southwest.
Therefore the final direction is South-West.
