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.

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.

Yes, it is right @Karishma. Question is asking about D's direction to the respect of A, if you make the directions diagram at the point of you'll get a clear figure. It's South-west to the A.

There is no correct answer in the options. It should be South-East because following the direction from the sketch it's is about 22.5 degree downward between South and East.

AB and CD lines are towards south and BC line is towards west. As you draw a line from A to D (as shown in the above fig). The line AD is inside of west and south. So it is south-west.

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.

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.
