Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Priya starts off facing west. A 270-degree clockwise turn would be a 90-degree anti-clockwise turn from a full circle (360 degrees - 270 degrees = 90 degrees). So, she is essentially making a 90-degree anti-clockwise turn from west, which puts her facing south.
