$[asy]size(96); draw(circle((0,0),1),linewidth(1)); draw((0,0.75)--(0,1.25),linewidth(1)); draw((0,-0.75)--(0,-1.25),linewidth(1)); draw((0.75,0)--(1.25,0),linewidth(1)); draw((-0.75,0)--(-1.25,0),linewidth(1)); label("$N$",(0,1.25), N); label("$W$",(-1.25,0), W); label("$E$",(1.25,0), E); label("$S$",(0,-1.25), S); draw((0,0)--(-0.5,0),EndArrow);[/asy]$

$\textbf{(A)}\ \text{north} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \text{east} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \text{south} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \text{west} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \text{northwest}$
