✅ Option d — East

All Options:

  • CWest
  • DEast

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0).
1. North 25\displaystyle 25 ft →(0,25)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, 25).
2. Right, 40\displaystyle 40 ft →(40,25)\displaystyle \rightarrow (40, 25).
3. Right, 45\displaystyle 45 ft →(40,−20)\displaystyle \rightarrow (40, -20).
4. Left, 20\displaystyle 20 ft →(60,−20)\displaystyle \rightarrow (60, -20).
5. Left, 25\displaystyle 25 ft →(60,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (60, 5).
6. Left, 20\displaystyle 20 ft →(40,5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (40, 5).
Final position (40,5)\displaystyle (40, 5) is North-East (predominantly East).
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option C (West), but the correct direction is East (Option D).
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
