Correct Answer

✅ Option d — South

All Options:

  • AEast
  • BWest
  • CNorth
  • DSouth

Detailed Solution & Explanation

1. **Initial Movement**: The man starts walking towards the East (positive x\displaystyle x-axis). Direction: East.
2. **First Turn**: He turns to his right. Facing East, a $90^\circ$ clockwise turn points towards the South (negative $y\displaystyle -axis). Direction: South.<br>3. **Second Turn**: He turns to his right again. Facing South, a &#36;90^\circ clockwise turn points towards the West (negative x\displaystyle x-axis). Direction: West.
4. **Third Turn**: Finally, he turns to his left. Facing West, a $90^\circ$ counter-clockwise turn points towards the South. Direction: South.

Thus, he is moving in the South direction now.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
