Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Initial Movement**: A car travelling 'from South' means it is moving towards the North. It covers a distance of 8 km\displaystyle 8\text{ km}. Direction: North.
2. **First Turn**: It turns right. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points East. It runs 9 km\displaystyle 9\text{ km} East. Direction: East.
3. **Second Turn**: It turns right again. Facing East, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points South. Direction: South.

Thus, the car is facing the South direction now.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
