Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at (0,0)\displaystyle (0, 0) facing West.
1. Walk 15\displaystyle 15 m West (15,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-15, 0) facing West.
2. Turn left, walk 12\displaystyle 12 m (15,12)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-15, -12) facing South.
3. Turn right and walk \displaystyle \rightarrow facing West.
*Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option B (East), but she is facing West. If the last turn were left, she would face East.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer (noting the textbook typographical error).
