  2. B
    South
  3. C

  4. D
    East

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's track the angular changes:
* Initial direction: South-East ( or )
* Anticlockwise turns:
* Clockwise turns:
* Net turn (Anticlockwise)

Facing exactly opposite to South-East means the man is now facing North-West.
If a person is facing North-West, their right hand points clockwise from North-West, which is North-East.
