Solution

The correct option is A North
As he covered 15 m to the North, 10 m to the West.
So, now the person is in North-West from the house.
Then turned South covering 5 m and then towards East covering 10 m.
So, he covered the 10 m West distance and now he is in the same direction he started from.
Thus, he is to the north from his house.
Hence, A is correct option.
