Correct Answer: South-West

Explanation:

At 8:15 am, the minute hand points to the east (3 o'clock position). The hour hand, however, is not exactly at the 8. Since 15 minutes have passed, the hour hand has moved 1/4 of the way from 8 to 9. Each hour represents 30 degrees (360°/12), so 1/4 of 30° is 7.5°. Adding this to the 240° at 8 o'clock gives the hour hand a position of 247.5°, which is in the South-West direction.

Final Answer: South-West
