D)         \[\frac{7}{8}\]

E) None of these.

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

Explanation: Option (b) is correct. Here, first Amit was facing North-East. In first \[\frac{1}{8}\] turn, Amit faced North. In second and third \[\frac{1}{8}\] turn, Amit faced West. Hence, the required anticlockwise turn =\[\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\].
