Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
With B at the origin: m north; m east, 10 m north; m east, 10 m south; east, 10 m south.
So E is 10 m directly south of B.
Worth noting
m south-east is where D is. 20 m south forgets that A started 10 m north of B.
