Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0) facing North.
1. Turn right, walk 25\displaystyle 25 m (25,0).\displaystyle \rightarrow (25, 0).
2. Turn left, walk 30\displaystyle 30 m (25,30).\displaystyle \rightarrow (25, 30).
3. Turn right, walk 25\displaystyle 25 m (50,30).\displaystyle \rightarrow (50, 30).
4. Turn right, walk 55\displaystyle 55 m (50,25).\displaystyle \rightarrow (50, -25).
5. Turn right, walk 40\displaystyle 40 m (10,25).\displaystyle \rightarrow (10, -25).
Final position (10,25)\displaystyle (10, -25) is South-East.
*Discrepancy*: The key lists Option A (South-West), but the correct direction is South-East (Option B).
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
