Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Initial Movement**: Raju starts walking northwards. Direction: North.
2. **First Turn**: He turns to his right. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ clockwise turn points East. Direction: East.
3. **Second Turn**: A little further, he turns to his left. Facing East, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counter-clockwise turn points North. Direction: North.
4. **Third Turn**: Finally, after walking one km, he turns to his left again. Facing North, a 90\displaystyle 90^\circ counter-clockwise turn points West. Direction: West.

**Note on Typographical Error**: The textbook answer key incorrectly lists Option A (North) as correct. As mathematically and geometrically proven above, turning left from North must point to West. Therefore, West (Option D) is the correct answer.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
