B Correct answer
Explanation

Starting east, the man walks 12 km, then turns left (north) for 15 km, then right (east) for 10 km. His final position is (12+10, 15) = (22, 15) from the origin, which is in the northeast quadrant. To face his starting point, he must look southwest, toward the origin from his position.
