Correct Answer

✅ Option d — South-West

All Options:

  • AEast
  • BSouth
  • CNorth - East
  • DSouth-West

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Start at O(0,0)\displaystyle O(0, 0).
1. South 5\displaystyle 5 km →(0,−5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (0, -5).
2. Turn right, walk 3\displaystyle 3 km →(−3,−5)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-3, -5) West.
3. Turn left, walk 5\displaystyle 5 km →(−3,−10)\displaystyle \rightarrow (-3, -10) South.
Final position is South-West (x<0,y<0\displaystyle x < 0, y < 0).
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
