Solution

The correct option is C South East
The drifts $40 k m$ North then $28 k m$ north-west, then $52 k m$ South and finally $29 k m$ South-east.
So, the boat finally drifting South-East with $1 k m$ more towards East and $12 k m$ more towards South from the original position.
Thus, it finally drifted South-east from its original position.
