I am standing at the centre of a circular field. I go down South to the edge of the field and then turning left I walk along the boundary of the field equal to three- eighths of its length. Then, I turn West and go right across to the opposite point on the boundary. In which direction am I from the starting point?

A) North-West                    

B) North

C) South-Wes        

D) West
