CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Morning shadows fall west, so west is on her left.
If west is on your left, you are facing north (facing north: left is west, right is east).
Worth noting
South is the answer if the shadow were on her right. Test the answer: face north in the morning and the sun is on your right, so the shadow falls on your left.
