Options

A. East
B. North-east
C. North-west
D. South

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to understand the new naming conventions for the cardinal directions based on the information provided. Let's break it down step by step.

### Step 1: Identify the Original Directions
We start by identifying the original cardinal directions:
- North
- South
- East
- West
- North-East
- North-West
- South-East
- South-West

### Step 2: Understand the New Naming Conventions
According to the question:
- South-East is called East
- North-West is called West
- South-West is called South

### Step 3: Analyze the New Direction Assignments
Now, we need to analyze what these new assignments imply for the remaining directions:
- Since South-East is now referred to as East, we can visualize that the direction that was originally South-East is now being represented as the East direction.
- North-West being called West indicates that the original North-West direction is now represented as West.
- South-West being called South indicates that the original South-West direction is now represented as South.

### Step 4: Determine the New Name for North
Now, we need to find out what North will be called under this new system.
- The remaining directions are North, North-East, and North-West.
- Since North-West is now called West, we can deduce that North must correspond to the direction that is between North and West, which is North-West.

### Conclusion
Thus, according to the new naming conventions, North will be called **North-West**.
