Solution

The correct option is C 10 m along west
Let's draw the person's movement:

The displacement in the horizontal direction will be 302cos4520=3020=10 m

The displacement in the vertical direction will be 30302sin45=3030=0 m

So the displacement of the person from the origin is 10 m along west.
