CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Each direction is renamed as the direction 90∘90^\circ clockwise from it.

  2. 90∘90^\circ clockwise from north-west is north-east.

  3. So north-west is called north-east.

Worth noting

South-west rotates the wrong way. Check with a cardinal: north becomes east, which is clockwise.
