The correct answer is

South

The correct answer is South.

In this case: Right turns = $90^\circ + 270^\circ = 360^\circ$. Net turn = $360^\circ$ Right - $180^\circ$ Left = $180^\circ$ Right (or $180^\circ$ Left, they are equivalent). $180^\circ$ turn from North is South. This confirms our step-by-step result.
