Solution

The correct option is B In the opposite direction.

The traveler made two $90^{o}$ turns, both in the clockwise direction.
Hence, the measures of the angle of rotation will get added up.
$\Rightarrow 90^{o} + 90^{o} = 180^{o}$

Hence, he will be travelling exactly in the opposite direction i.e. south direction.
