- AEastCorrect
- BNorth
- CWest
- DSouth
Explanation
Start facing north. Right turn gives east. Another right turn gives south. A left turn from south gives east. So she is facing east at the end. Choosing west would come from turning right instead of left at the last turn.
Did you get it right without looking?
