Correct Answer

✅ Option c — East

All Options:

  • ANorth
  • BSouth
  • CEast
  • DSouth-West

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0) walking South.
1. South 15\displaystyle 15 m →(0,−15)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, -15).
2. North 20\displaystyle 20 m →(0,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 5).
3. East 10\displaystyle 10 m →(10,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (10, 5).
4. South 5\displaystyle 5 m →(10,0)\displaystyle \rightarrow (10, 0).
Displacement from start is (10,0)\displaystyle (10, 0), which is due East.
*Discrepancy*: The textbook key lists Option A (North), but the correct direction is East (Option C).
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
