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.
