  2. B.

  3. C.

    South West

  4. D.

    South East

Answer

C

Explanation

  1. Facing East initially →10 km\xrightarrow{10\text{ km}} East.
  2. Right turn   ⟹  \implies Facing South →2 km\xrightarrow{2\text{ km}} South.
  3. Clockwise turn of 45∘45^\circ from South   ⟹  \implies Facing South-West. So he is travelling in the South West direction.
