Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the man start at the origin (0,0)\displaystyle (0, 0) facing North.
1. **Walk 4 miles North**: He reaches (0,4)\displaystyle (0, 4) and is facing North.
2. **Turn left and walk 6 miles**: A left turn from North points West. He walks 6\displaystyle 6 miles West, reaching (6,4)\displaystyle (-6, 4), and is facing West.
3. **Turn right and walk 3 miles**: A right turn from West points North. He walks 3\displaystyle 3 miles North, reaching (6,7)\displaystyle (-6, 7), and is facing North.
4. **Turn right and walk 4 miles**: A right turn from North points East. He walks 4\displaystyle 4 miles East, reaching (2,7)\displaystyle (-2, 7), and is facing East.
5. **Walk 2 miles in the same direction**: He continues walking East for 2\displaystyle 2 miles, reaching (2+2,7)=(0,7)\displaystyle (-2 + 2, 7) = (0, 7), and is facing East.
6. **Turn right and walk 1 mile**: A right turn from East points South. He walks 1\displaystyle 1 mile South, reaching (0,6)\displaystyle (0, 6), and is facing South.

Thus, the final direction he is facing is South.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
