Answer
Correct Answer: North
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We track only facing after a sequence of turns from an initial West heading.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Start facing West.
- Right from West → North.
- Right from North → East.
- Left from East → North.
Concept / Approach:Apply successive 90° turns relative to current heading.
Step-by-Step Solution:
West → (R) North → (R) East → (L) North.Verification / Alternative check:Two rights and a left from West net to a single right: West → North.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They correspond to different net rotations.
Common Pitfalls:Assuming the second right returns to West (it returns to East).
Final Answer:North
