Solution

The correct option is C North
The movements of the rat and the distances the rat covers from point to point are shown in the diagram.
A to B $\to$ $20$ m towards East
B to C $\to$ $10$ m towards South
C to D $\to$ $9$ m towards West
D to E $\to$ $5$ m towards South
E to F $\to$ $12$ m towards East
F to G $\to$ $6$ m towards North
So finally the rat is facing North
option C
