CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Walking towards his morning shadow means walking west.
Right from west is north, so he now faces north.
The shadow still points west, and facing north, west is on his left.
Worth noting
The shadow does not move with him: it always points west in the morning. Only which side of his body it is on changes.
