Step 1: Place the start at O(0,0); positive x means East and positive y means North. | Step 2: Combine East and West moves: the net horizontal coordinate is x = -12 km. | Step 3: Combine North and South moves: the net vertical coordinate is y = -12 km. | Step 4: Thus the final point is (-12,-12); its x-sign points West and its y-sign points South. | Step 5: Combining those two directions places the point in the South-West quadrant. | Step 6: Therefore the traveller is South-West of the starting point; distance is unnecessary because only direction is asked. | Final Answer: Option D — South-West.
