Answer d is correct. Because the direction has been asked wrt A.
If the question only ask that tell now in which direction man is moving. Then south will be right one. But here direction is asking wrt A. So answer is SOUTH WEST.

Yes, it seems incorrect. because there is no indication of any angle. So how it will be south-west. It should be South. So the correct answer should be B.

Direction of movement remains south as he is moving parallel to his direction of movement of 5 kms south had he turned at 45 deg angle after turning left he would have walked south west so Sundar you are wrong and Sridhar is correct the answer is B
