Detailed Solution & Explanation

The replacement of South-East (315\displaystyle 315^\circ) by East (0\displaystyle 0^\circ) represents a 45\displaystyle 45^\circ clockwise rotation.
Applying the same 45\displaystyle 45^\circ clockwise rotation to North-West (135\displaystyle 135^\circ) yields West (180\displaystyle 180^\circ).
Under this 45\displaystyle 45^\circ clockwise rotation, the direction that rotates to become North (90\displaystyle 90^\circ) is North-West (135\displaystyle 135^\circ rotated 45\displaystyle 45^\circ clockwise becomes 90\displaystyle 90^\circ).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
