Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let P=(0,0)\displaystyle P = (0, 0).
1. Q is South-West of P Q=(k,k)\displaystyle \rightarrow Q = (-k, -k) for k>0\displaystyle k > 0.
2. R is East of Q and South-East of P R=(k,k)\displaystyle \rightarrow R = (k, -k) (same y as Q).
3. T is North of R and in line with QP (y=x\displaystyle y = x) T=(k,k)\displaystyle \rightarrow T = (k, k) since xT=xR=k\displaystyle x_T = x_R = k.
Relative to P, T is at (k,k)\displaystyle (k, k) which is North-East.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
