This explanation may help you better.

Assume that you are standing at point A and looks towards point D. It will make you to look at D at an angle approximately 35 degree from south toward west, i.e. South-West. We either use north or South for their respective direction as first word, As in this case it is to South.

Hence the answer is correct.

The answer is right. Manu mohan explained right. Friends, draw the diagram and see the angle from D to A, or draw a dot dot line from D to A. Try and try, you will succeed.

@Mr.Sundar.

No angle is given, and also movement is done in 90 degree. So answer will be South.
