The correct option is B South Let A be the initial position of the boy.
Let's look at the above diagram to identify the final position.
As he walks 6 miles to the south, his position will be B.
Next, he turns left and walks for 3 miles. So, his location will be C.
Then he turned right and walked for 5 miles more.
Therefore, his final position is D.
