Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:
Path: 5m East, 5m North (left turn), 3m North = 8m North total. First left turn from North puts me West 3m. Second left turn puts me South 3m. Total East = 5 - 3 = 2m. Total North = 8 - 3 = 5m. Since I am East and North of the start, the direction is North-East.
