After turning left for the second time, the person would be walking in a south direction. Walking 40 m north and then 40 meters south, the vertical displacement would be zero. 

The only net movement would be the person's 20-meter movement to his left, which is in the west direction. 

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
