Comments

i think most of us fail to understand the sentence "sun failing to her right side"

Answer 1

from the above diagram, we can conclude that the building is facing south.

So, the correct answer is $(D).$

Comments

it is mentioned shadow due to the morning sun failing to her right side 

which means shadow is on her right side so the sun must be on the opposite side which is her left side

since it is morning, we can infer that east direction is on her left side

Not only your mistake but most of us done the same mistake in understanding the sentence

In the above diagram sun has to be lil bit down and it should be at the left side of person and then we can get it.
