CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Take clockwise as positive: net turn =135∘−270∘=−135∘= 135^\circ - 270^\circ = -135^\circ, that is 135∘135^\circ anticlockwise.

  2. Anticlockwise from north: north-west (45∘)(45^\circ), west (90∘)(90^\circ), south-west (135∘)(135^\circ).

  3. She faces south-west.

Worth noting

North-east comes from adding both turns as clockwise. South-east stops after the first turn.
