Actually, they told that the person is moving towards south so the starting place may be north or west or north east or north west.
So, I think it is an invalid question.

Just draw a straight line connecting points A to D. It will then indicate which direction it refer to on a compass that labels all cardinal directions. It is South East.

It's correct only because x is starting point a man walk 5km to south then he turns 3km right side then turn to walk 5 km left side its become south-west or west-south.

If you stand on starting point (A) and try to look at the end point (D), You have to turn SOUTH-WEST direction to see the end point. I hope this answer will help you.

Answer is South-West as the question clearly says, in which direction is he from the starting place. So look from point A. It is south-west not exact South guys!

The answer is South West only. Since the last position is not straight downwards to the original position but is diagonal to it. Hence the answer is South West.

No, south west is right because if you see starting point mention its all direction then you find its at the south west of the north.
Correct me if I am wrong.

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.

Still confused. Direction from the starting point is still into the south, 3 km deviation to the east.
Answer may be South-east or south.

His movement in west direction ends the answer with S-W as right answer (d).
It's an easy one if you don't get it try diagrammatically.
