Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Initial Direction**: The man starts facing the North direction. Direction: North.
2. **First Turn**: He turns to his left. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counter-clockwise turn points West. Direction: West.
3. **Second Turn**: He turns to his right. Facing West, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points North. Direction: North.
4. **Third Turn**: He turns to his right again. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points East. Direction: East.

**Note on Typographical Error**: The textbook answer key incorrectly lists Option B (South) as the correct answer. As mathematically proven above, the man is facing East. Therefore, East (Option C) is the correct answer.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
