Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let point T be at (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0) facing East:
- Walks 4 ft East to U     U=(4,0)\displaystyle \implies U = (4, 0).
- Turns left (90\displaystyle 90^\circ North) and walks 4 ft to W     W=(4,4)\displaystyle \implies W = (4, 4).
- Turns right (90\displaystyle 90^\circ East) and walks 3 ft to P     P=(7,4)\displaystyle \implies P = (7, 4).
- Turns right (90\displaystyle 90^\circ South) and walks 1 ft to Q     Q=(7,3)\displaystyle \implies Q = (7, 3).
- Turns left (90\displaystyle 90^\circ East) and walks 1 ft to V     V=(8,3)\displaystyle \implies V = (8, 3).
- Turns right (90\displaystyle 90^\circ South) and walks 3 ft to R     R=(8,0)\displaystyle \implies R = (8, 0).
The straight distance from T (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0) to R (8,0)\displaystyle (8, 0) is exactly 8 feet.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
