Solution

The correct option is A South-East
Ashok is facing North.
As he turns $45^{\circ}$ in clockwise direction, this implies Ashok is facing North-East
Then he takes a $90^{\circ}$ anti-clockwise turn, this means he is facing North-West.
Now, at last he turns back.
So, he faces opposite direction.
As opposite to North is South and opposite to West is East.
So, finally he is facing South-East direction.
Hence, option A is correct.
