Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let us map Neha's path on Cartesian coordinates starting at (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0):
- Walks 2 lanes West     (2,0)\displaystyle \implies (-2, 0).
- Turns South and walks 4 km     (2,4)\displaystyle \implies (-2, -4).
- Moves 3 km East     (1,4)\displaystyle \implies (1, -4).
- Moves 1 km West     (0,4)\displaystyle \implies (0, -4).
The distance from starting point (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0) to the final position (0,4)\displaystyle (0, -4) is exactly 4 km.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
