- CWest
- DEast
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's track the movement step-by-step on a coordinate plane starting at :
1. Walked North: New position is .
2. Turned West and walked : New position is .
3. Turned South and walked : New position is .
4. Turned East and walked : New position is .
The final coordinates are . Since the -coordinate is and the -coordinate is positive, the person is standing exactly to the North of the starting point (house).
