Solution

The correct option is A North
Let us consider a Cartesian plane thinking positive X-axis as East; negative one as West; positive Y-axis as North; negative as South.
He moves along negative Y axis 10 m later parallel to X axis 15 m.
Here he is facing positive X direction.
When he turns left he will be facing positive Y direction which is North.
Hence, option A.
