I think the answer is North-East. If you have to move 5km towards south(as specified), you have to be in the north right. And the difference towards the right to left (i.e, west to east) will end up in the east. So Northeast. A diagram is drawn imagining yourself can help.

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.
