Answer: D. East

Answer: D) East
Explanation:
Pattern: Trace movement coordinates assuming the starting position is the origin point (0, 0).
Step-by-step: Start at (0, 0). Walk 5 km South → Coordinate becomes (0, -5). Turn left (facing East) and walk 3 km → Coordinate becomes (3, -5). Turn left again (facing North) and walk 5 km → Coordinate becomes (3, -5 + 5) = (3, 0). The point (3, 0) is situated directly to the East of (0, 0).
