Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at house H(0,0)\displaystyle H(0, 0).
1. North 15\displaystyle 15 km (0,15)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 15).
2. Turn West, 10\displaystyle 10 km (10,15)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-10, 15).
3. Turn South, 5\displaystyle 5 km (10,10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-10, 10).
4. Turn East, 10\displaystyle 10 km (0,10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 10).
Displacement from house is (0,10)\displaystyle (0, 10), which is due North.
*Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option B (West), but the correct direction is North (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
