E Correct answer
Explanation

The direction changes follow a 135° clockwise rotation pattern: SE→N (135°), NE→W (135°), N→SW (135°), E→S (135°). Following this pattern, West would rotate 135° clockwise to become South-East. However, South-East is not among options A-D. Option E (None of these) is therefore correct.

AI explanation

Mapping the given transformation as a rotation of directions: South-East (135° from North) becomes North (0°), a shift of -135° (equivalently +225° clockwise). Checking consistency with North-East (45°) becoming West (270°): 45°+225°=270°, which matches. Applying the same +225° shift to West (270°): 270°+225°=495° mod 360°=135°, which is South-East. Since 'South-East' isn't among the listed options (North-East, South, West, Data Inadequate), the correct choice is 'None of these.'
