Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
When every compass direction is renamed in the same manner, compare the original and renamed directions to identify a single uniform rotation. The eight principal directions are separated by 45° steps.
APPLICATION
South-east becoming East is one 45° step anticlockwise.
North-west becoming West shows the same shift.
Applying that shift to North moves it one step anticlockwise to North-west.
CROSS-CHECK
The local sequence is North-east → North → North-west → West.
Shifting each original direction one place anticlockwise reproduces both given examples and places North at North-west.
Therefore, the renamed direction for North is North-west.
